TL;DR: Detailed prevalence rates for most components of ARM in an Australian population are provided and reinforce the Beaver Dam Eye Study findings for the relative age-specific frequency of age-related macular degeneration components.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the prevalence and potential risk factors for late age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in three racially similar populations from North America, Europe, and Australia.

TL;DR: In the Sydney Myopia Study as discussed by the authors, the authors assessed the relationship of near, mid-working distance, and outdoor activities with prevalence of myopia in school-aged children and found that higher levels of outdoor activity (sport and leisure activities) were associated with more hyperopic refractions and lower myopia prevalence in the 12-year-old students.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prevalence of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in an Australian community whose residents are 49 years of age or older was determined by a door-to-door census and closely matched findings from the national census.

TL;DR: The Blue Mountains Eye Study as discussed by the authors measured the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity in 3647 persons, representing an 88% response rate in two postcode areas in the Blue Mountains area, west of Sydney.
