Cataract surgery complications and revisit rates among three states.
The authors studied cataract procedures from California, Florida, and New York, to characterize population-based 30-day procedure-related readmissions following surgery. Their results highlight the importance of age as a risk factor for cataract surgery readmissions, and suggest a relationship between black or Hispanic race, Medicaid insurance, and diabetes associated with higher risk for cataract surgery complications.

Screening for impaired visual acuity in older adults: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
This update of a 2009 systematic review on screening for impaired visual acuity among older adults found that new evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of visual acuity screening tests was limited and consistent with previous findings that screening questions or a visual acuity test was associated with suboptimal accuracy. Direct evidence found no significant difference between vision screening in older adults in primary care settings vs no screening for improving visual acuity or other clinical outcomes.

The effect of Medicaid adult vision coverage on the likelihood of appropriate correction of distance vision: evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
This paper examined whether providing adult vision benefits is associated with an increase in the percentage of low-income individuals with appropriately corrected distance vision as measured during an eye exam. Findings imply that Medicaid adult vision coverage is associated with a significant increase in the percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries with appropriately corrected distance vision.
