VA explains need of examining the blind =~ If blind people have more health problems than other persons, it is partly because they can't see danger signals on the body, according to the Veterans Administration. To provide closer watch over the health of blinded veterans, Dr. H. Martin Engle, Chief Medical Director of VA's Department of Medicine and Surgery, directed that VA's regional outpatient clinics establish special visual impairment teams to contact veterans with vision problems and invite them to come in for physical examinations. Teams of doctors, social workers and other specialists will then interview, examine, and -counsel them on any physical or adjustment problems they discover. This VA program brought special medical help to more than 2,000 blinded veterans during the past year. Dr. Engle said the program was recommended by Russell Williams, a blind veteran who supervises rehabilitation for the blind throughout VA. Williams points out that the lack of sight deprives a person of the ability to monitor his health as he normally would. Without periodic checkups, he said, serious conditions can develop from problems that would otherwise be minor. The teams have found and treated a wide variety of surgical. and medical problems among blind veterans, A large number have never applied for needed prosthetic and sensory aids, Others need vocational or Read again Not many people in the United States today review the words and ideals of the Declaration of Independence, In a publication of the California-Pacific Utilities Company, the Preamble of the Declaration appears, ‘When in the course of human events, it becomes. necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." As the utility company publication puts it, "If all the rest of the Declaration of Independence were forgotten, that one phrase, ‘a decent respect to the opinfons of mankind,’ should lift it from the hidden archives to enlighten our modern life." wv oo ana se Stephen SENATOR TE family counseling. All blind veterans who are eligible for VA compensation for service-connected disability are being sought out for this "whole -man" attention. The disability need not be related to vision. Blindness is defined as vision in the better eye of 20/200 or less with ordinary corrective glasses. Williams said that improved communication between VA personnel and unsighted veterans . has.been one of the most valuable developments of the program. Many had not previously been treated for blindness by VA, he said, and others needed attention for conditions that had been undetected for long periods of time because of blindness. The medical mission of VA visual impairment teams is distinctly different from the work of VA blind rehabilitation centers at Hines Hospital in Chicago and at Palo Alto Hospital, California, At the centers, blinded veterans are taught personal skills needed to adjust to regular community life and to cope with blindness in day to day living.
