Alms To describe the causes of bilateral and unilateral blindness and visual impairment in two cross-sections of an older Australian population 6 years apart. METHODS The Blue Mountains Eye Study examined 3654 persons aged 49-97 years during 1992-1994 (population cross-section I). Cohort survivors (2335) and 1174 persons who moved to the area or reached an eligible age were examined during 1997-2000, a total of 3509 persons (population cross-section 2). LogMAR visual acuity was measured after standardized refraction. Blindness and visual impairment were respectively defined by visual acuity
