The UK lacks prevalence data on vision and hearing impairment and its causes within the population. The UK National Eye Health and Hearing Study (UKNEHS) has been designed to provide population-based data on met and unmet need and barriers to uptake of care among those aged 50 years and older,the sector of the population most affected by sensory impairment. Given that 3.9% of the UK population aged 65+ years live in care homes,there is also a need to measure sensory health within this community. Phase 1 of the UKNEHS is a pilot study involving two parts,a
survey of sensory impairment among residents within a randomly selected representative group of care homes within an Integrated Care Board (ICB),and a randomly enumerated sample of people aged 50+ years from the catchment population of an Integrated Care Board. This ethics application relates to the former. Care home residents (and their
consultee if they lack capacity) will be invited to take part in a study that involves questionnaires and a physical examination to collect data relating to individuals’ personal and sociodemographic status,structural and functional aspects of sensory health and associated social,behavioural and medical factors.
