4 National Indigenous Eye Health Survey 2008 Vision Loss in Children One fifth as common as in mainstream Vision Loss in Adults Blindness is 6 times more common Low Vision is nearly 3 times more common Causes of Blindness in Adults 32% Cataract 14% Refractive Error and Optic Atrophy 9% Trachoma and Diabetic Eye Disease Overall 94% of Vision Impairment is avoidable and 35% have never had an eye exam
5 0% 30% 25% Vision Impairment % 20% 15% 10% 5% AMS Optometry FTE Eye services within AMS reduce vision loss

10 We have reviewed existing service models service provision and availability service utilisation pathways of care and case-management history of eye health policy and programs We have consulted Field Consultations (21 sites) Focus Groups (10 held in 7 locations) Stakeholder Workshops (x3 with 84 people) Community Controlled Sector (NACCHO and each state affiliate) Ministries and Departments (in each jurisdiction) Over 530 people involved

16 Challenges in implementation: subsidised spectacle schemes

35 Summary Indigenous vision loss is largely unnecessary Diabetic eye disease is a growing problem that we must work together to address we can stop almost all the vision loss with regular screening The new MBS Item numbers are a real game changer We encourage incorporating eye care and diabetes eye care into GP pathways of care it is now time to close the gap for vision - by 2020! manjou@unimelb.edu.au philip.roberts@unimelb.edu.au
