Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
In this cohort study, the investigators will test vision screenings in Danish general practice for patients over 70 years of age with minimum one chronic condition. The main outcome is detection of vision impairment and secondary outcome is detection of conditions needing ophthalmologic follow-up but not presenting vision impairment at present time.

Treatments
Other: Three vision tests in general practice
All patients recruited in general practice are asked to fill out a patient questionnaire and examined:~\- Collenbrander Mixed contrast card: testing near vision binocularly at 40 cm, using both 100% and 10% contrast.~\- Amsler Test: Conducted for both eyes to check for central vision issues.~\- Visual Field Test: Performed using the Donders method to assess peripheral vision, conducted for both eyes.~After tests in general practice, all patients undergo a comprehensive vision assessment at local optician shops, which include the following tests:~* Habitual Vision Testing: Near and distance vision with habitual glasses.~* Best Corrected Distance Vision: Monocular and binocular.~* Intraocular Pressure Measurement Assessed using air tonometry or Icare.~* Ocular Imaging: 3D peripapillary and macula optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans, and fundus photography.~A project ophtalmologist analyze patient-data from optometrists.
