Results from the NEI’s Latino Eye Study Rohit Varma, MD, MPH Professor of Ophthalmology Preventive Medicine Director, Ocular Epidemiology Center University of Southern California Los Angeles, California The Los Angeles Latino Eye StudySpecific Aims: The Los Angeles Latino Eye Study Specific Aims Determine the burden of eye disease among Latinos who are aged 40 years or older. Determine causes of blindness and visual impairment in Latinos. Evaluate the impact of eye disease on the quality of life. Assess the use of health care and eye care services in Latinos. Slide3: Comparison of Age-Specific Prevalence (%) of Visual Impairment in Latinos with African-Americans and Caucasians: Comparison of Age-Specific Prevalence (%) of Visual Impairment in Latinos with African-Americans and Caucasians Comparison of prevalence of Glaucoma in LALES Latinos and African-Americans and Whites in the Baltimore Eye Study: Comparison of prevalence of Glaucoma in LALES Latinos and African-Americans and Whites in the Baltimore Eye Study Prevalence of Early and Advanced Macular Degeneration (AMD)in Latinos : Prevalence of Early and Advanced Macular Degeneration (AMD) in Latinos Age-specific Prevalence (%) of Advanced Age-related Macular Degeneration In Population-based Studies: Age-specific Prevalence (%) of Advanced Age-related Macular Degeneration In Population-based Studies Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy by Duration of Diabetes (years): Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy by Duration of Diabetes (years) Comparison of Prevalence of Vision threatening Diabetic Retinopathy in Latinos and Non-Hispanic Whites: Comparison of Prevalence of Vision threatening Diabetic Retinopathy in Latinos and Non-Hispanic Whites Prevalence of Cataract in Latinos : Prevalence of Cataract in Latinos Causes of Low Vision and Blindness in Latinos: Causes of Low Vision and Blindness in Latinos Causes of Low Vision Cataract (49%) Diabetic retinopathy (17%) AMD (15%) Glaucoma (5%) Causes of Blindness AMD (29%) Diabetic retinopathy (21%) Myopic degeneration (12%) Slide12: Projected # of Latinos with Any Eye Disease Prevalence of Undetected Eye Disease: Prevalence of Undetected Eye Disease Slide14: Projected # of Latinos with Any Undetected Eye Disease Summary: Summary Latinos have high rates of visual impairment, blindness, and ocular disease, particularly diabetic retinopathy, AMD, and glaucoma – a majority of which is undetected. Given that Latinos are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, we are facing a significant increase in the burden of eye disease as this population ages. Targeted screening and treatment programs need to be developed if we are to reduce the burden of eye disease in this population.
