Estimates of Incidence and Prevalence of Visual Impairment, Low Vision, and Blindness in the United States
[ PUBLICATION ]
Importance: Updated estimates of the prevalence and incidence rates of low vision and blindness are needed to inform policy makers and develop plans to meet the future demands for low vision rehabilitation services.
Objective: To provide updated estimates of the incidence and prevalence of low vision and blindness in the United States.
Design, Setting, and Participants: Visual acuity measurements as a function of age from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, ...
| Known for United States | Low Vision | Visual Impairment | Prevalence Incidence | 18 Years |
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a low-vision rehabilitation program.
METHODS: A multicenter randomized clinical trial was conducted from November 2004 to November 2006 with a 4-month follow-up. A total of 126 patients were included, 98% of whom were white and male. The patients were referred from eye or low-vision clinics and blind rehabilitation centers with a visual acuity in the better-seeing eye worse than 20/100 and better than 20/500 and were eligible for Veterans ...

Visual Ability of Patients Seeking Outpatient Low Vision Services in the United States
[ PUBLICATION ]
IMPORTANCE: Most patients with low vision are elderly and have functional limitations from other health problems that could add to the functional limitations caused by their visual impairments.
OBJECTIVE: To identify factors that contribute to visual ability measures in patients who present for outpatient low vision rehabilitation (LVR) services.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: As part of a prospective, observational study of new patients seeking outpatient LVR, 779 patients from 28 ...

Measuring Outcomes of Vision Rehabilitation with the Veterans Affairs Low Vision Visual Functioning Questionnaire
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the sensitivity to change, in patients who undergo vision rehabilitation, of the Veteran Affairs (VA) Low Vision Visual Functioning Questionnaire (LV VFQ-48), which was designed to measure the difficulty visually impaired persons have in performing daily activities and to evaluate vision rehabilitation outcomes.
METHODS: Before and after rehabilitation, the VA LV VFQ-48 was administered by telephone interview to subjects from five sites in the VA and private sector. ...
| Known for Vision Rehabilitation | Veterans Affairs | Lv Vfq48 | Visual Functioning | Daily Activities |
OBJECTIVE: To determine if visual field (VF) loss resulting from glaucoma is associated with greater fear of falling.
DESIGN: Prospective, observational study.
PARTICIPANTS: Fear of falling was compared between 83 glaucoma subjects with bilateral VF loss and 60 control subjects with good visual acuity and without significant VF loss recruited from patients followed up for suspicion of glaucoma.
METHODS: Participants completed the University of Illinois at Chicago Fear of Falling ...

Psychometric Properties of the Veterans Affairs Low-Vision Visual Functioning Questionnaire
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: To describe psychometric properties of a self-report questionnaire, the Veterans Affairs (VA) Low-Vision Visual Functioning Questionnaire (LV VFQ-48), which was designed to measure the difficulty visually impaired persons have performing daily activities and to evaluate low-vision outcomes.
METHODS: The VA LV VFQ-48 was administered by telephone interview to subjects with visual acuity ranging from near normal to total blindness at five sites in the VA and private sector. Rasch ...
| Known for Veterans Affairs | Psychometric Properties | Vision Visual | Lv Vfq48 | Daily Activities |
PURPOSE: The Activity Inventory (AI) is an adaptive visual function questionnaire that consists of 459 Tasks nested under 50 Goals that in turn are nested under three Objectives. Visually impaired patients are asked to rate the importance of each Goal, the difficulty of Goals that have at least some importance, and the difficulty of Tasks that serve Goals that have both some importance and some difficulty. Consequently, each patient responds to an individually tailored set of questions ...

Baseline Traits of Low Vision Patients Served by Private Outpatient Clinical Centers in the United States
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the traits of low vision patients who seek outpatient low vision rehabilitation (LVR) services in the United States.
METHODS: In a prospective observational study, we enrolled 764 new low vision patients seeking outpatient LVR services from 28 clinical centers in the United States. Before their initial appointment, multiple questionnaires assessing daily living and vision, physical, psychological, and cognitive health states were administered by telephone. ...

A Model of the Prevalence and Incidence of Low Vision and Blindness among Adults in the U.S.
[ PUBLICATION ]
Population-based vision screening studies of the prevalence rate of low vision and blindness in the U.S. are reviewed to evaluate the sources of disagreement among studies. The major reasons that studies disagree on prevalence rate estimates are differences in best-corrected visual acuity criteria for low vision and differences in the age range of the oldest age category. When corrections are made for these differences, the results of all prevalence rate studies, except the Mud Creek ...

Racial Variations in Causes of Vision Loss in Nursing Homes: The Salisbury Eye Evaluation in Nursing Home Groups (SEEING) Study
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and causes of low vision in a large sample of nursing home residents.
METHODS: Twenty-eight nursing homes on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware were enrolled in a clinical trial to assess the impact of vision restoration/rehabilitation on nursing home residents. Visual acuity was measured using both recognition charts and preferential looking techniques. An ophthalmologist examined all residents with visual acuity worse than 20/40 in the ...

Outcomes of the Veterans Affairs Low Vision Intervention Trial II (LOVIT II): A Randomized Clinical Trial
[ PUBLICATION ]
Importance: Randomized clinical trials are needed to compare effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different low-vision (LV) programs.
Objective: To determine the value of adding LV rehabilitation with a therapist compared with LV services without intervention.
Design, Setting, and Participants: A randomized clinical trial was conducted from September 27, 2010, to July 31, 2014, of 323 veterans with macular diseases and best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVAbetter-eye) of 20/50 ...

DESIGN: Validation of a telephone-administered functional assessment instrument using Rasch analysis on self-assessment ratings.
SETTING: Telephone interviews of respondents in their homes.
PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive series of 600 outpatients with low ...
