Eye Care Quality and Accessibility Improvement in the Community (Equality) for adults at risk for glaucoma
As eye-care delivery systems in the US strive to improve quality while reducing costs, telemedicine programs including teleglaucoma initiatives such as EQUALITY could contribute toward reaching this goal, particularly among underserved populations at-risk for chronic blinding diseases
Development of a vision-targeted health-related quality of life item measure
Vision Impairment Among Older Adults Residing in Assisted Living
This study is the first to provide information about vision impairment in the assisted living population. Of those screened, 70% had visual acuity worse than 20/40 for distance or near vision, and 90% had impaired contrast sensitivity. Cognitive impairment accounted for a small percentage of the variance in near vision and contrast sensitivity
The Personal Burden of Decreased Vision-Targeted Health-Related Quality of Life in Nursing Home Residents
Nursing home residents are bothered by reductions in vision-targeted health-related quality of life. The NHVQoL bother subscales may probe the personal burden of visual problems in this population that is not captured by the original subscales or objectively measuring visual function
Health-related quality of life following blind rehabilitation
Vision-specific health-related quality of life
Self-perceptions and Current Practices of High-risk Older Drivers
Many older drivers with visual problems meet the legal requirements for licensing despite having functional impairments that elevate crash risk. In a sample of visually impaired older drivers, over half believed that their vision was not likely to cause them to crash. Eighty percent acknowledged that they would feel more protected against crashing if they avoided certain driving situations. However, 75 percent of the sample reported never or rare…
