3 Executive Summary Optometrist Findings From January to December , the Optometry Incident Report collected feedback from 192 members. During this collection period, 61% of patients visited an Optometrist as asymptomatic patients. On average, 4 of these patients booked an appointment with an Optometrist to update a prescription not to address a specific ocular condition. Given the high number of patients who exhibit asymptomatic eye disease, early detection is crucial to treatment. However, 18% of patients wait more than 5 years between comprehensive eye examinations. An additional 35% of patients wait between 2 and 5 years between examinations. Together, these segments represent a significant portion of the population who are not aware of their eye health. Data relating to the frequency of patient visits should be used to garner support from national and regional healthcare organizations on the matter of eye examinations. March
4 % respondents Optometry Incident Report Form Member Demographic Data The 192 Optometrists who responded to the 2015 Optometry Incident Report (OIR) provided insight into the regions that contribute the most to their industry association. 35% FIGURE 1.1 MEMBER LOCATION Historic View 3 25% 2 15% 5% British Columbia Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba Ontario Quebec New Brunswick Nova Scotia Prince Edward Island Newfoundland/Labrador Yukon Year Northwest Territories Nunavut n=2,553, English and French responses, Optometry Incident Report ; n=326, English and French responses, Optometry Incident Report 2014 Question: Please select the province in which you practice The 2015 year-end data revisits reporting trends experienced from New Brunswick and Manitoba returned to their previously high reporting positions, while BC, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland/Labrador fell back to their traditional reporting habits.

In particular, responses from New Brunswick increased remarkably.

Optometry Incident Report Form Patient Demographic Data Since the questions on patient sex and age became obligatory in the 2014 OIR, responses about male patients have increased by 9%. Male patients may be visiting their Optometrists more frequently than they were prior to FIGURE PATIENT SEX % 45% % 48% Male Female % 54% % respondents n=2,399, English and French responses, Optometry Incident Report ; n=326, English and French responses, Optometry Incident Report 2014 Question: Patient sex While members reported more visits from male patients in 2015, this data must be considered with caution given the small sample size.

In 2015, the age brackets listed in the OIR were altered to better reflect reporting trends seen in previous years. As such, year-over-year trending is not possible until For historical data, please see Appendix A. March
8 % incidents Optometry Incident Report Form Incident Data Data disclosed in the Optometry Incident Report indicates that in 61% of the cases reported the patient did not present with symptoms related to the underlying condition or diagnosis. 34% of cases were related to corrective lenses acquired via the Internet; 25% of these cases stemmed from the incorrect or unsafe glasses or contact lenses dispensed via the Internet while 9% of these cases included glasses or contact lenses dispensed via the Internet from an invalid, expired or modified prescription. The remaining 5% of reported incidents were based on sight tests. of reported incidents were based on an incorrect prescription generated by stand alone sight test, while 2% of incidents were based on a stand alone sight test performed for provision of optical appliance when the omission of an ocular health assessment put the patient at risk % Asymptomatic findings FIGURE REPORTED INCIDENTS 25% Incorrect corrective lenses via the internet 9% Invalid, expired or modified prescription via the internet 2% Incorrect prescription generated by stand alone sight test Stand alone sight test & omission of an ocular health assessment Question: Select the reason for the patient s visit In 2015, the question regarding reason for patient s visit was altered. For historical data, please see Appendix A. March
9 % incidents The most frequent reasons for visiting an Optometrist, according to the OIR, include updating a prescription (~4 of patients), blurred vision (~12% of patients) and ongoing care (~7% of patients). of cases respectively were related to Asthenopia/eyestrain, headaches, double vision or symptomatic ocular disease with diagnosis delayed due to patient first undergoing a sight test instead of a timely comprehensive eye health examination. FIGURE REASON FOR PATIENT VISIT 45% 4 35% 3 25% 2 15% 5% 4 15% 12% 7% Question: Reason for Patient s Visit (Check all that apply) In 2015, the question regarding reason for patient s visit was altered to better reflect reporting trends. For historical data, please see Appendix A. Throughout Canada, CAO members are consistently reporting retinal holes, tears, or detachments and glaucoma as the ocular and systemic issues facing their patients most frequently. In 2015, the OIR question regarding Ocular conditions changed to reflect the severity of the patient s condition. This data provides detail into the how optometric care influences a patient s understanding of their overall health not just their eye health. March

However, 18% of patients wait more than 5 years between comprehensive eye examinations. An additional 35% of patients wait between 2 and 5 years between examinations. Together, these segments represent a significant portion of the population who are not aware of their eye health. Frequent eye examinations can identify issues before they become a significant burden to patients and the public healthcare system. Data relating to the frequency of patient visits should be used to garner support from national and regional healthcare organizations on the matter of eye examinations. March
