Improving vision and quality of life: An innovative and comprehensive eye care model for individuals in residential care facilities

居住在养老院的老年人视力丧失程度很高，可能会影响情绪健康、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，配合低视力的康复，可以提高生活质量。这项计划将评估一种针对视力障碍的新眼科护理模式的效果和成本效益，以改善居民的日常功能，提高他们的情绪健康和生活质量，并减少跌倒。

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.
