ABSTRACT
Among Singaporean adults of Chinese origin aged 40 to 79 years old, 1.1% and 0.5% were reported as being visually impaired and blind in both eyes respectively. Visual impairment and blindness can significantly affect one's quality of life. The key role of primary care doctors in the management of a patient with impaired vision is to diagnose its likely cause so that the patient can be referred to the appropriate eye care professional (i.e. optometrist or ophthalmologist) for treatment.
