Interviewer instructions
This question serves two purposes. First, it introduces the topic of cataracts with the more general aspect of eye care, by allowing the respondent to remember the last time they had their eyes examined. Second, it filters out those respondents who either never had professional eye care, or last had it over 5 years ago.
Ask how long ago the respondent had an eye exam by a medical professional and record the time in the appropriate box as mentioned.
Determine if the exam was WITHIN THE LAST 5 YEARS. If the respondent never had an exam, or did not have one in the last 5 years, Go to question Q6703. If the respondent reports having had an exam within the last 5 years, Go to question Q6701.
