摘要

为了评估对老年住院患者进行眼科评估的可行性，我们对48名75岁以上的急性老年护理病房患者进行了检查。35例患者(73%)遇到困难。通过采用简单的方法来克服这些问题，在所有情况下都获得了有用的信息，完成检查所需的时间从6到20分钟不等(平均7.5分钟)。照顾老年病人的医生应被鼓励评估视力功能，而不应因预期的后勤困难而却步。

Logistics of performing an ophthalmic assessment in elderly inpatients.

To assess the feasibility of performing an ophthalmic assessment on elderly inpatients, we examined 48 patients over 75 years of age who were consecutively admitted to an acute elderly-care ward. Difficulties were encountered in 35 patients (73%). By employing simple methods to overcome these problems, useful information was obtained in all cases and the time taken to complete the examination ranged from six to 20 minutes (mean 7.5 minutes). Doctors looking after elderly patients should be encouraged to assess visual function and must not be deterred by anticipated logistical difficulties.
