摘要
Vision health is crucial for overall well-being,affecting physical health,livelihoods,and social sustainability.Visual impairment limits mobility,increases risks of dementia,falls,and accidents,and burdens social care systems[1].The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness(IAPB)reported that in 2020,1.1 billion people worldwide were visually impaired,including 43 million with blindness and 295 million with moderate to severe visual impairment[2].This burden is unevenly distributed,with low-and middle-income countries/regions bearing the brunt.Visual health is essential for good health and well-being,and promoting eye health is a key topic for social development guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).Despite significant progress in preventing and treating blindness,China now faces a shift in its main eye health challenge from infectious to non-infectious eye diseases due to an aging population and persistent unhealthy lifestyles.
