Vision Loss : A Public Health Problem

Affects a lot of people 21 million have vision problems 80 million have potentially blinding diseases

Contributes large burden Morbidity: depression, diabetes, hearing impairment, stroke, falls,

cognitive decline, and premature death Quality of life: inability to drive, read, keep accounts, and travel Cost: estimated to exceed $51 billion

Vision Loss : A Public Health Problem

Recently increased and will increase in future Rapidly aging U.S. population and increasing epidemics of diabetes Blindness and visual impairment (VI) double by 2030

Perceived threat by public Vision loss ranks among top ten causes of disability in United States

Feasible to act on at community or public health level Early detection and treatment can prevent much blindness and vision

impairment Vision screening among adults aged ≥ 65 years: one of top 10 priorities

among effective clinical preventive services

National Response

Healthy People 2010 : Chapter 28 Vision Objectives National goal to "improve the visual and hearing health of the nation

through prevention, early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation“ National Eye Institute: lead agency for vision objectives 10 vision objectives

CDC’s Vision Health Initiative (VHI) Creates multilevel network for vision loss prevention and eye health

promotion Serves on the Healthy People 2020 Vision Work Group

May: Healthy Vision Month

Common Eye Disorders Among Adults Aged ≥40 Years

Cataracts Glaucoma

Diabetic Retinopathy Macular Degeneration

Page 6: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Vision Loss : At-Risk Populations

Hispanics and African Americans Increased risk for glaucoma and diabetes complications Unaddressed cataract

Older people at risk for age-related eye disease Diabetics Economically disadvantaged & socially isolated communities

Lack culturally relevant information and limited access to heath care

Rural communities lack education and limited health care access

Persons with modifiable risk factors?

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Vision Surveillance

Optional “Visual Impairment and Access to Eye Care” module

First implemented in five states (Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Iowa and Tennessee) in 2005

Individuals aged ≥40 years

9 questions assess prevalence of self-reported

Visual impairment

Eye disease

Eye examination

Implemented in NM in 2008

Access to eye care

Lack of eye care insurance

Study Objectives

Estimate overall visual impairment (VI) prevalence in NM

Estimate VI prevalence by race/ethnicity

Assess association between race/ethnicity and VI

Assess covariates and identify populations most at risk for vision loss to guide prevention strategies

Page 10: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Methods

2008 BRFSS data for 4,743 New Mexico adults aged ≥40 years

BRFSS: complex cross-sectional survey

Far vision: “How much difficulty, if any, do you have in recognizing a friend across the street?”

Near vision: “How much difficulty, if any, do you have reading print in newspaper, magazine, recipe, menu, or numbers on the telephone?”

While wearing glasses or contact lenses, for those who wore them

Page 11: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Main Outcome: Two VI Case Definitions

No Difficulty

A little difficulty

Moderate difficulty

Extreme difficulty

Unable to do so because of eye sight

1. Broad: Any VI

2. Narrow: Moderate/Extreme VI Only

Far or Near Vision Question

Discussion

NM-specific estimates of self-reported prevalence of VI

VI prevalence substantially higher by using broad (any VI) than narrow (M/E VI Only) case definitions

Comparison to other states?

Significant Associations with Any VI

Middle age: Access to care/Medicare?

Stroke history, “fair” or “poor” health: Less likely to comply with annual eye appointments?

Lower socioeconomic status (unemployed, lower education, lower income): May be associated with less access to eye care or limited vision health literacy?

Limited care access: medical cost, regular visits to eye care provider?

Page 54: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Nonsignificant Associations with Any VI

Demographics: race/ethnicity, sex and lifestyle factors: smoking, drinking, exercise Initial unadjusted associations confounded by other covariates Inconsistent with past literature: were past studies properly controlling

for confounding factors?

Comorbidity: Diabetes Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment Outcome of interest in this study was VI from any cause

Page 55: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Study Limitations

Self-reported visual impairment BRFSS data collection by landline telephone Survey of civilian noninstitutionalized population Cross-sectional survey Not generalizable beyond NM population

Page 56: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Conclusions

VI prevalence varied substantially by different case definitions

VI prevalence highest among Hispanics and AI/ANs

Any VI in NM significantly associated with Middle age Stroke history Limited care access Lower socioeconomic status

Any VI in NM not significantly associated with race/ethnicity

Page 57: Mam Ibraheem, MD, MPH Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 CSTE Annual Conference June 5, 2012 Visual

Recommendations Address New Mexico’s VI disparities through vision health

initiative Access to eye care services Eye health literacy among groups at high risk

Continue surveillance of VI is important to better understand and plan for New Mexico’s vision care needs

Investigate eye care barriers to develop specific vision-loss prevention and eye-health promotion programs

Standardize case definition of vision loss in surveys and validate self-reporting methods

BRFSS Vision/Eye Module How much difficulty, if any, do you have in recognizing a friend across the street? How much difficulty, if any, do you have reading print in newspaper, magazine,

recipe, menu, or numbers on the telephone? When was the last time you had your eyes examined by any doctor or eye care

provider? What is the main reason you have not visited an eye care professional in the past

twelve months? When was the last time you had an eye exam in which the pupils were dilated?
