The visual status of 88,341 hospitalized veterans receiving care at Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Centers on October 4, 1978, was determined, based on clinical records and on personal observations by registered nurses. For 72% of this group of veterans, there were no notations of either eye or vision care rendered within the preceding 2 years. Within the group which had received eye or vision care within the prior 2 years, the combined incidence of legal blindness [visual acuity less than 6/60 (20/120)] and low vision [defined here as visual acuity between 6/15 (20/50) and 6/30 (20/100)] was 40%. These data are analyzed further, and implications concerning optometric care are discussed.
根据临床记录和注册护士的个人观察，确定了1978年10月4日在退伍军人管理局（VA）医疗中心接受治疗的88341名住院退伍军人的视力状况。在这组退伍军人中，72%的人在过去两年内没有接受过眼部或视力护理的记录。在过去两年内接受过眼部或视力护理的人群中，法定失明（视力低于6/60（20/120））和低视力（此处定义为视力在6/15（20/50）至6/30（20/100）之间）的综合发病率为40%。对这些数据进行了进一步分析，并讨论了与验光护理相关的影响。
