Outlook on the prevention and treatment of glaucoma in China
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 6
Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. It brings great damage and heavy economic burden to patients, their families and society. Under the Vision 2020 initiative, great progress has been achieved in the glaucoma prevention and treatment in China, but there are still severe challenges ahead. In the future, the Guideline for Glaucoma Care in China (2020) will act as the blueprint of the prevention and treatment of glaucoma in China. Efficient, convenient and accurate screening and diagnosis of glaucoma will be achieved relying on the artificial intelligence technology. Personalized and precision therapy will be carried out based on individual and disease characteristics and social environment. Also, lifelong monitoring and guidance of patients will be realized in the context of the whole life cycle of chronic diseases. Glaucoma care will be further improved to continuously reduce vision impairment and blindness caused by glaucoma.
