What are the Epidemiological Implications of Dilated Eye Exams?
From an epidemiological perspective, widespread implementation of dilated eye exams could lead to:
Early detection and treatment of ocular diseases, reducing the prevalence of vision impairment and blindness. Collection of valuable data on the epidemiology of eye diseases, aiding in the development of targeted intervention strategies. Better understanding of the risk factors and distribution of ocular diseases in different populations. Identification of health disparities and the development of programs to address them.
