The significance of minor defects of visual acuity in school children: implications for screening and treatment.

Information collected on the children of the 1970 Birth Cohort Study has been used to examine the educational performance of children who have minor defects of visual acuity. Results suggest that children with mild degrees of hypermetropia may experience difficulty learning to read but with exclusion of this group significant educational disability was not associated with minor visual defects. The significance of this finding is discussed in conjunction with information on prevalence of defects and current practice in screening and treating visual defects in school children. Some anomalies in current practice are identified.

Normative contrast sensitivity functions: the problem of comparison.

Sixty college age observers who were prescreened for 6/6 (20/20) acuity were examined twice on an automated contrast sensitivity system. A significant practice effect was evident in the obtained contrast sensitivity functions (CSF's). In addition, marked differences were found between the contrast sensitivity scores in the present work and the normative CSF reported by other investigators using similar methods. Implications for the rapid assessment of CSF in applied settings and for the use of published CSF norms are discussed.

Eye problems in general practice. To refer or not to refer.

A significant number of eye problems present to the general practitioner. Most of these can be handled without referral to a specialist. This article attempts to give some guidance to the practitioner faced with an ophthalmological problem in the office. Sophisticated equipment is required in very few cases to make a working diagnosis. General practitioners should continue to be involved in primary eye care.
