The information presented here shows the number of Low Vision Service Wales assessments by age group.Data collection and calculation
The LVSW provides for an annual assessment by accredited practitioners in Wales. Aggregated counts of assessments carried out which are derived from the LVSW’ patient database are routinely used to manage the service and have been provided for the purposes of these statistics. Demographic information of patients together with self-reported conditions is recorded. Although the service provides for an annual assessment there may be a number of reasons why patients are not seen every year for example they may choose not to have a further assessment or if there are no perceived changes in their vision levels during a subsequent sight test the optometrist may not automatically recall them.1st April 2019 health service provision for residents of Bridgend local authority moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf. For more information see the joint statement from Cwm Taf and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Boards (see weblinks). The health board names have changed with Cwm Taf University Health Board becoming Cwm Taf Morganwg University Health Board and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board becoming Swansea Bay University Health Board. A link to the statement from the minister for health and social service can be found in the weblinks section.
