Elderly people living in residential care facilities have high levels of vision loss which can impact on emotional health, falls, daily functioning, and quality of life. Appropriate correction and cataract surgery can improve vision and, with low vision rehabilitation, can enhance quality of life. This project will assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a new model of eye care targeting vision impairment to improve residents’ daily functioning, enhance their emotional well-being and quality of life; and reduce falls.

居住在住宿护理机构的老年人视力下降程度很高，这可能影响情绪健康、跌倒、日常功能和生活质量。适当的矫正和白内障手术可以改善视力，配合低视力康复，可以提高生活质量。本项目将评估一种针对视力障碍的新型眼科护理模式的功效和成本效益，以改善居民的日常功能，增强他们的情绪健康和生活质量；减少跌倒。
