Select the best evidence to support the statement that older people with eye problems tend to have
more medical problems.
Among people aged 65 and older, over 40 percent of those who have vision problems say their
overall health is only fair or poor, compared to just over 20 percent of those without vision
problems. Other health problems may include poor hearing, heart problems, and lower back
pain.
Older people often have more problems with their eyes, but children in preschool may not see
as well as they should. Just one out of seven preschoolers receives an eye screening, and fewer
than one out of four receives some type of vision screening. The U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force recommends vision screening for all children ages 3 to 5 years to find conditions such as
amblyopia, which can be treated effectively if caught early.
