Within the context of this survey, 1066 eligible patients at least 30 years were randomly selected for interview and underwent near-vision testing. Eligible patients were refracted and given best distance correction. A sample of 1066 people aged 30–90 years with distance visual acuity >6/18 with snellen chart was selected.
