This study analyzed the secondary data collected in the national scope Basic Health Research (BHR) 2007. Enumerators performed questionnaires based interview for demographic characteristics, cataract, glaucoma, diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypertension histories, and also measured visual acuity without refractive error correction and calculated the body mass index. Perygium, lens opacity, corneal scar, and strabismus were identified by emmerators using penlight assistance. We analyzed 765,650 respondents data (6 years old and above). The low vision proportion among those people is 4.8% and the blindness proportion is 0.9%. Those severe visual impairment proportions are higher on females (low vision 5.4%: 4,1%; blindness 1.3%: 0.9%). All tested independent variables increase the visual impairment risks. Age is the most potential factors increasing the risk to get a visual impairment, followed by the lens opacity. Cataract history and lens opacity are the leading causes of visual impairments among people (30 years old and above). The low vision and blindness proportions due to correctable causes are still high in Indonesia. Those severe visual impairmens maybe influenced by multi-factors.
