A prospective study screening for visual impairment in a day centre for people with a mental handicap showed that 30% required spectacles or registration as blind or partially-sighted and a further 20% had previously unknown pathology. Carers were not reliable in identifying visual problems in their charges, and routine screening should be encouraged. High Street optometrists should be able to measure visual acuity in the individuals in this sample excluding those cared for in special care units for whom screening may be less beneficial.
一项针对智障人士日间护理中心视力障碍筛查的前瞻性研究表明，30%的人需要佩戴眼镜或登记为盲人或视力部分受损，另有20%的人有此前未知的病理状况。护理人员在识别其照护对象的视力问题方面并不可靠，因此应鼓励进行常规筛查。商业街的验光师应该能够为该样本中的个体测量视力，但在特殊护理单元接受照护的个体除外，因为对他们进行筛查可能益处较小。
