Patients underwent Snellen visual acuity testing and subjective refraction. Following this, an assessment of their anterior and posterior segments was made. Baseline results were compared with those who were reviewed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Main Outcome Measures:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The annual incidence rates and causes of visual impairment (vision worse than Snellen visual acuity 6\/12 in at least one eye).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The incidence of visual impairment in at least one eye was 6.6%, 1.2% and 0.7% per year for cataract, diabetic retinopathy and trachoma, respectively (7.9%, 1.5% and 0.7% per year for those aged \u226540\u2003years). Advancing age was the main risk factor common to all three.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> It is important to be mindful not only of the prevalence of disease in a community but also of the rate at which new cases are occurring when allocating resources to address the ocular health needs of this region. Compared with historical data, diabetic retinopathy is emerging as a new and increasing threat to vision in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2012.02817.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,18]],"date-time":"2012-05-18T08:56:22Z","timestamp":1337331382000},"page":"50-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Incidence of visual impairment due to cataract, diabetic retinopathy and trachoma in indigenous Australians within central Australia: the Central Australian Ocular Health Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"John","family":"Landers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamie E","family":"Craig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"12","article-title":"Impact of visual impairment on use of community support services by elderly persons: the Blue Mountains Eye Study","volume":"40","author":"Wang JJ","year":"1999","journal-title":"Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","volume-title":"Assessing Fitness to Drive for Commercial and Private Vehicle Drivers;
