a

Multivariable logistic regression model was adjusted for age, sex, race, US region of residence, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, osteoporosis, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, glaucoma, severe cataract, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic manifestations, Parkinson disease, physically limiting conditions, and duration of Medicare Part B coverage. The cohort included a 5% Medicare sample from 2002 to 2011. Each person was included in the global analysis one time.

b

The denominators are the total number of each cohort: with a disorder of binocular vision, 99 525; and without a disorder of binocular vision, 2 097 356.

c

All differences were significant at P < .001.
