Abstract:
Eye health and use of eye care have not previously been measured among North Carolina adults. In 2006, questions from the newly developed vision module were included in North Carolina’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. This study presents data related to impaired vision, eye-care insurance, and recent eye exams.
