摘要
271 BD 8 Forms completed by consultant ophthalmologists to enable blind and partially sighted patients to be registered by the social services department were analysed for aetiological factors. This set of data for 1982 to 1986 is tabulated and compared with historical and contemporary data for the country as a whole and some data from Strathclyde, Avon and Leicestershire. It is suggested that in order to monitor epidemiological trends in the causation of visual disability, a composite picture for England could be obtained by requiring one district in each of the fourteen English regional health authorities to collect and analyse the local data. Form BD 8 should be revised, simplified and made computer compatible. © 1990 The Society of Public Health.
