Prevalence and Associations of Epiretinal Membranes in an Elderly English Population: The Bridlington Eye Assessment Project.

To determine the prevalence and risk factors of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) in an adult English population. The Bridlington Eye Assessment Project is a population-based study of eye disease among residents aged 65 years or older. Comprehensive interviews and ophthalmic examinations were conducted to assess potential risk factors.

Prevalence of Reduced Vision among UK Elderly Drivers: The Bridlington Eye Assessment Project (BEAP)-A Cross-Sectional Study.

Self-assessment of driving fitness is mandatory in the United Kingdom. A paucity of data on visual function among drivers exists. We report prevalence of elderly drivers below legal visual acuity (VA) standard from a population study (The Bridlington Eye Assessment Project (BEAP)) conducted from 2002 to 2006.

Characteristics of Geographic atrophy in an elderly UK population-The Bridlington Eye Assessment Project (BEAP): a cross-sectional study (2002-2006).

Background/objectives: Geographic atrophy (GA) is a common cause of visual loss. The UK population prevalence is unknown. We studied GA prevalence, characteristics, and associations in an elderly UK population.

Prevalence of optic disc haemorrhages in an elderly UK Caucasian population and possible association with reticular pseudodrusen-the Bridlington Eye Assessment Project (BEAP): a cross-sectional study (2002-2006).

Aims: To determine disc haemorrhage (DH) prevalence in an elderly UK population-the Bridlington Eye Assessment Project (BEAP).

Methods: Thirty-degree fundus photographs (3549 participants ≥65 years) were graded for DH/macula changes. Glaucoma evaluation included Goldmann tonometry, 26-point suprathreshold visual-fields and mydriatic slit-lamp assessment for glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

Prevalence of peripapillary choroidal neovascular membranes (PPCNV) in an elderly UK population-the Bridlington eye assessment project (BEAP): a cross-sectional study (2002-2006).

Purpose: There is paucity of data on the epidemiology of peripapillary choroidal neovascularisartion (PPCNV). Our aim was to determine prevalence of PPCNV in the elderly UK population of Bridlington residents aged ≥65 years.

Methods: Eyes with PPCNV in the Bridlington eye assessment project (BEAP) database of 3475 participants were analysed.

Prevalence of reticular pseudodrusen in an elderly UK Caucasian population-The Bridlington Eye Assessment Project (BEAP): a cross-sectional study (2002-2006).

Aims: To determine prevalence, associations, and risk factors for reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) in a UK population.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of Bridlington residents aged ≥65 years. Masked grading of colour fundus photographs from 3549 participants.

Asymmetry in optic disc morphometry as measured by heidelberg retina tomography in a normal elderly population: the Bridlington Eye Assessment Project.

Purpose: To define the normal range of asymmetry in optic disc parameters measured by the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT II; Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Dossenheim, Germany) in a normal elderly population.

Methods: Optic disc analysis of 918 eyes of 459 normal elderly patients was performed. All patients were consecutive in a cohort screened for eye disease.

Laser scanning tomography of the optic nerve head in a normal elderly population: the Bridlington eye assessment project.

Purpose: To assess optic nerve head topographic parameters using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) II (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Dossenheim, Germany) in a normal elderly population.

Methods: Optic nerve head analysis of 918 eyes of 459 normal elderly patients was performed. All patients were consecutive in a cohort screened for eye disease.
