目的：评估全国自我报告的眼保健服务获取水平。方法：我们分析了 2002 年全国健康访谈调查（30 920 名年龄 >= 18 岁的成年人）的数据。我们估计了严重视力丧失高风险的美国成年人人数，并评估了与使用眼科护理服务相关的因素。结果：估计美国有 6100 万成年人面临严重视力丧失的高风险（他们患有糖尿病、视力或眼部问题，或者年龄 >= 65 岁）；在过去 12 个月内进行过散瞳检查的 7800 万成年人中，42.0% 属于这一群体。在高危人群中，进行散瞳检查的概率随着年龄、教育程度和收入的增加而增加（ P
Objective: To estimate the levels of self-reported access of eye care services in the nation.Methods: We analyzed data from the 2002 National Health Interview Survey ( 30 920 adults aged >= 18 years). We estimated the number of US adults at high risk for serious vision loss and assessed factors associated with the use of eye care services.Results: An estimated 61 million adults in the United States were at high risk for serious vision loss ( they had diabetes, had vision or eye problems, or were aged >= 65 years); 42.0% of the 78 million adults who had dilated eye examinations in the past 12 months were among this group. Among the high-risk population, the probability of having a dilated eye examination increased with age, education, and income ( P
