AnnotationThe question, "What is the effect on vision of visual screening in older patients?" is considered in a review of studies traced using on-line databases such as EMBASE and MEDLINE. All randomised trials of visual or multicomponent screening in unselected people aged 65+ in a community setting were independently reviewed by two reviewers. Of 2,862 citations and abstracts screened, 154 full text articles were reviewed, and five trials met final inclusion criteria. Implications for future geriatric research are discussed briefly. (RH).
