Brief Summary:
Causes of Visual Impairment Among Patients Applying for the Visually Disability Certification in Upper Egypt A Retrospective Study
Detailed Description:
There are at least 22 billion individuals with near- or far-sightedness worldwide Nearly half of these cases-at At least 1 billion-have untreated vision impairment that may have been avoided The leading cause of blindness or impaired distant vision among these 1 billion people is diabetic retinopathy 39 million age-related macular degeneration 8 million cataracts 94 million refractive error 884 million and glaucoma 77 million Presbyopia 826 million is the primary ailment that impairs close vision
According to estimates there are four times as many cases of distant vision impairment in low- and middle-income areas as there are in high-income areas
Aging populations and population expansion are predicted to raise the likelihood that more people may have visual impairment Early on irreversible severe visual impairment in young children can lead to delayed motor verbal emotional social and cognitive development which can have long-term effects Children of school age who are visually impaired may also perform less academically The quality of life is significantly impacted by vision impairment in adult populations Adults who are visually impaired may have greater rates of anxiety and depression as well as decreased employment rates
Vision impairment in older persons can increase their risk of falling and breaking bones walking difficulties social isolation and early admission into nursing homes or other care facilities
According to estimates vision impairment costs the worlds economy 411 billion annually in lost productivity purchasing power parity This amount is greatly above the predicted 25 billion cost gap incurred from treating vision impairment
This study is to demonstrate the causes of visual impairment in upper Egypt among the different age groups and evaluate the possibility of preventing these disorders
