1985年至1987年间，亚特兰大市区10岁儿童的法定失明患病率为6.8 / 10000。黑人男孩的患病率为8.8 / 10000，白人男孩为8.6 / 10000，白人女孩为6.7 / 10000，黑人女孩为1.8 / 10000。早产儿视网膜病变是最常见的已知原因（每10000人中有1.0人）。在61例患者中，有40例患有其他残疾，包括14例智力迟钝、脑瘫和癫痫。值得注意的是，黑人女孩的患病率很低，而失明和其他残疾的发生率很高。
The prevalence of legal blindness in 10-year-olds in metropolitan Atlanta was 6.8 per 10 000 during 1985 to 1987. The prevalence was 8.8 per 10 000 in Black boys, 8.6 per 10 000 in White boys, 6.7 per 10 000 in White girls, and 1.8 per 10 000 in Black girls. Retinopathy of prematurity was the most common known cause (1.0 per 10 000). Of the 61 cases, 40 had other disabilities, including 14 with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy. The low prevalence among Black girls and the frequent occurrence of blindness with other disabilities are noteworthy.
