AB  - PURPOSE: To describe the objective and design of the Fujian Eye Study and to 
      introduce the general characteristics and vision condition of this study. 
      METHODS: The Fujian Eye Study (FJES) is a population-based cross-sectional survey 
      on the public eye health status of residents over 50 years old in the entire 
      Fujian Province of Southern China, which contains both urban and rural areas and 
      coastal and inland regions. 10,044 participants were enrolled using a two-stage 
      cluster sampling design and underwent a questionnaire and a series of standard 
      examinations both physical and ocular. The main subgroups of data collection 
      included age, sex, region, refractive error, education background, income, eating 
      habits, smartphone usage in the dark, complaints of eye discomfort, history of 
      chronic diseases, consumption of tobacco, alcohol, or tea. RESULTS: 8211 (81.8%) 
      participants were finally included and were divided into urban populations (4678 
      subjects) and rural populations (3533 subjects) and coastal residents (6434 
      subjects) and inland residents (1777 subjects); 4836 participants were female. 
      The mean age was 64.39 (SD 8.87) years (median 64 years; range 50-98 years). 227 
      (3.33%) had vision impairment (VI), 195 (2.87%) had low vision and 14 (0.21%) 
      were blind. The mean presenting near visual acuity (PNVA) was 0.28 (0.17), the 
      mean presenting distance visual acuity (PDVA) was 0.61 (0.30), and the mean best 
      corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.82 (0.28). CONCLUSIONS: The FJES collected 
      detailed questionnaire information and overall ocular and physical examinations, 
      which provide the opportunity to identify risk factors and images of VI and eye 
      diseases and to evaluate their associations with chronic diseases and basic 
      personal information.
