Causes of blindness and vision impairment in 2020 and trends over 30 years, and prevalence of avoidable blindness in relation to VISION 2020: the Right to Sight: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study

Jaimie D. Steinmetz et al.

Summary: The study assessed the prevalence and relative contribution of avoidable causes of blindness and vision impairment globally from 1990 to 2020, finding that there was no change in the global prevalence of avoidable blindness and vision impairment in adults aged 50 and older. Although the age-standardized prevalence of avoidable blindness decreased, avoidable moderate and severe vision impairment did not change.

IMI Impact of Myopia

Padmaja Sankaridurg et al.

Summary: The global burden of myopia is on the rise, with increasing prevalence of myopia and high myopia expected to lead to higher costs in terms of vision loss and complications. Current global cost estimates related to direct health expenditure and lost productivity are in the billions, with higher health expenditure in adults. Further research is needed to understand the lifelong impact of myopia on individuals and the cost-effectiveness of novel approaches in reducing the burden.
