AbstractBackgroundEvidence suggests that people with learning disabilities are less likely to have an up‐to‐date eye examination as sight loss is characteristically underdiagnosed in people with complex needs.MethodA retrospective study of records from 576 Service Users of RNIB UK Vision, learning disability and Complex Needs Services was carried out.ResultsThe record review found a higher prevalence of spectacle prescription in a learning disability (LD) population in agreement with findings from other LD studies. There was a higher prevalence of severe myopia in people with LD compared with a general adult population.ConclusionThis study found a higher prevalence of spectacle prescription in people with learning disabilities compared to a general adult population, which has implications for people with learning disabilities to ensure that they have access to eye care and regularly attended eye tests. It also has implications for healthcare professionals working with people with complex needs to ensure they have access to eye care.
