World Health Report on vision: aging implications for global vision and eye health
Innovation in Aging, 2020•ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Abstract In 2019, the World Health Organization World Report on Vision estimated that that
2.2 billion people have a vision impairment, of which almost half could have been prevented
or is yet to be addressed. As the global population ages and the prevalence of visual
impairment increases, inequities in eye care and the downstream health and aging
consequences of vision loss will become magnified. This session will:(1) provide key
information regarding the burden of eye disease and visual impairment among older adults …

Abstract
In 2019, the World Health Organization World Report on Vision estimated that that 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment, of which almost half could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed. As the global population ages and the prevalence of visual impairment increases, inequities in eye care and the downstream health and aging consequences of vision loss will become magnified. This session will:(1) provide key information regarding the burden of eye disease and visual impairment among older adults worldwide;(2) outline a framework created to conceptualize the aging and long-term health implications of vision loss, and (3) discuss the global public health challenges to eye care and to maximizing health for older adults with visual impairments.
