Two hundred and ten consecutive 45-66-year-old patients underwent a routine eye examination and a decision was made whether to refer each patient on the basis of fundus appearance and other non-sphygmomanometric criteria. Blood pressure was then measured and the referral decision was reviewed. Of the 33 (15.7%) patients finally referred, only 5 (2.4%) would have been referred on the non-sphygmomanometric findings. It is suggested that optometrists include a protocol of blood pressure measurement as part of the eye examination routine.
210名年龄在45至66岁之间的连续患者接受了常规眼科检查，并根据眼底外观和其他非血压测量标准决定是否转诊每位患者。然后测量血压，并对转诊决定进行复查。在最终转诊的33名（15.7%）患者中，只有5名（2.4%）会根据非血压测量结果被转诊。建议验光师将血压测量方案纳入眼科常规检查的一部分。
