(Deutsches Aerzteblatt International) Senior citizens living in retirement homes often lack adequate ophthalmological care, according to a study by Luisa Thederan and co-authors published in the current issue of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International. Almost 21 percent of the surveyed residents were last seen by an ophthalmologist more than five years ago, while 39.9 percent were unable to provide any information about past ophthalmological examinations.
