MethodsA total of 5 243 community residents who participated in a community physical examination in Sijing Town of Songjiang District of Shanghai were selected as the subjects. Their eyesight was examined for low vision and blindness using the international standard visual acuity chart. At the same time， medical vision examinations were carried out on the subjects， including eye acuity， spherical degree， axial position， horizontal corneal curvature， vertical corneal curvature and cylinder degree. ResultsThe increase in age has an impact on the incidence of low vision and blindness in the elderly community in Sijing Town， with an increased proportion of monocular low vision （χ2=112.545， P<0.05）， binocular low vision （χ2=21.006， P<0.05） and monocular blindness （χ2=9.418， P<0.05）. P<0.05）， a significant downward trend of cylindrical power （F=20.358， P<0.05） and a significant upward trend of spherical power （F=50.274， P<0.05）， axial position （F=7.934， P<0.05） and corneal curvature vertical data （F=7.351， P<0.05）.
