PURPOSE: This study provides cross-sectional data on eye care utilization in a community-based adult population.
METHODS: Data are from a questionnaire administered during the 7-year follow-up of the Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study in 2000 to 2002. Participants in the population-based Beaver Dam Eye Study were eligible for the Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study, which began in 1997. The primary outcome was self-reported vision testing within the past year.
RESULTS: Subject ages ranged from 55 to 99 years (n = 2433), and 60.4% were female. Fifty-three percent of subjects reported they had their vision tested in the past year. Diabetes was self-reported by 11.5% of subjects, and 70.9% of diabetic participants had their vision tested in the past year. A current hospitalization or health insurance plan was reported by 98.6% of subjects. In multivariate analyses, self-reported factors significantly associated with having a vision test in the past year were female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.52), current use of refractive correction for distance (OR = 1.98; 95% CI 1.56-2.52), glaucoma (OR = 3.52; 95% CI 2.37-5.24), cataract surgery (OR = 1.57; 95% CI 1.21-2.03), age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) (OR = 1.74; 95% CI 1.22-2.47), diabetes (OR = 2.46; 95% CI 1.83-3.31), visiting a primary care practitioner for any reason in the past year (OR = 1.72; 95% CI 1.32-2.25), having a hearing test in the past year (OR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.40-2.28), and the cessation of driving because of poor vision (OR = 1.64; 95% CI 1.16-2.52). In participants 65 years of age or older, having private insurance was associated with increased odds (OR = 3.39, 95% CI 1.82-6.31) of vision testing in the past year.
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that chronic ocular conditions, diabetes, health insurance beyond government entitlements, and the use of other healthcare services are associated with increased eye care utilization.
