Data are given as the survey year odds ratio (95% confidence interval) in modeling vision impairment (<20/63 to 20/400) and blindness (<20/400) using combined 2006 and 2014 data with sex, age, and survey year as covariates. Statistical significance at the P ≤ .05 level is indicated by 1 asterisk (*) and significance at the P ≤ .01 level by 2 asterisks (**).
