Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Ophthalmology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Eye care utilization is crucial for preventing vision loss.
  • Understanding patterns in eye care access among middle-aged and older Canadians is essential for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of eye care utilization in the past 12 months among Canadians aged 45-85.
  • To identify potential factors influencing eye care access within this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted using data from 30,097 participants in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
  • Participants aged 45-85, who were community-dwelling, reported their visits to optometrists or ophthalmologists within the last year.

Main Results:

  • Overall, 57% of the 28,728 eligible adults reported eye care utilization in the past year, with notable provincial variations.
  • Factors associated with lower eye care utilization included being male, current smoking status, lower educational attainment, and lower income.
  • A concerning 25.3% of individuals with diabetes over 60 years old did not access eye care services in the preceding year.

Conclusions:

  • Significant disparities in eye care utilization exist across Canadian provinces and demographic groups.
  • Targeted strategies are needed to address these inequities and mitigate the risk of avoidable vision impairment.
