The USPSTF commissioned a systematic review to evaluate the benefits and harms of screening for eating disorders in adolescents and adults with a normal or high BMI. Evidence limited to populations who are underweight or have other physical signs or symptoms of eating disorders was not considered. The USPSTF has not previously made a recommendation on this topic.

The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for impaired visual acuity in older adults (65 years or older). The evidence is lacking, and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined. More research is needed. Advancing age is a major risk factor for most types of visual impairment. However, there are known risk factors for specific conditions that cause visual acuity impairment that vary by condition such as ...

U.S. Preventive Services Task Force A and B recommendations
US Preventive Services
There are several screening tests to identify open-angle glaucoma; however, these tests are not administered in primary care and it cannot be predicted whether glaucomatous changes will progress to visual impairment. Furthermore, early treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma has limited evidence on improvements in vision and quality of life. Glaucoma affects an estimated 2.7 million people in the US. It is the second-leading cause of irreversible blindness in the US and the leading cause of ...
