  2. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • What do we know? • What is being done? • What is VISION 2020?

  3. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • FOUR QUESTIONS • 1. What is it? DEFINITION • 2. How many? MAGNITUDE • 3. Why? CAUSES • 4. What can be done? CONTROL

  4. GLOBAL BLINDNESS DEFINITION NORMAL 6/6-6/18 VISUAL IMPAIRMENT <6/18-6/60 SEVERE VISUAL IMPAIRMENT <6/60-3/60 BLIND <3/60 In the better eye with available correction

  5. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • FOUR QUESTIONS • 1. What is it? DEFINITION • 2. How many? MAGNITUDE • 3. Why? CAUSES • 4. What can be done? CONTROL

  6. Prevalence of Blindness EUROPE 0.3% Asia 0.7 % Africa 1.0 + % Lat. Amer. 0.5%

  7. HOW MANY ARE BLIND? ECONOMY/ % BLIND / HEALTH CAREBLINDMILLION GOOD 0.25 2500 O.K. 0.50 5000 POOR 0.75 7500 VERY POOR 1.00+ 10,000+

  8. YEAR 2000

  9. Blindness and Impaired Vision • 45m people are blind • 135m have impaired vision Twice as many people will be affected by the year 2020 unless we do something about it! *WHO Global Initiative: Vision 2020, Feb 1999

  10. GLOBAL BLINDNESS BLIND (millions)

  11. WHY? • More people are going blind than we are treating or are dying.

  12. GLOBAL BLINDNESS

  13. ESTIMATED GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF BLINDNESS (1995) (TOTAL 45 MILLION) REGION NUMBER BLIND (MILLIONS) India 11.0 Africa 8,5 China 7,0 Rest of Asia 4,5 Eastern Mediterranean 4,5 Latin America 3,0 Industrialised countries 2,5 Eastern Europe 1,5 TOTAL 45,0

  14. MAGNITUDE OF BLINDNESS BLIND PERSON YEARS = Number blind x Average number of years a person lives blind with this disease This is a measure of disability over time and indicates that the younger a person the greater the impact of blindness and the greater the effects on the individual and society.

  15. BLIND PERSON YEARS GLOBAL ESTIMATES (1995) • Cataract 20m x 5 years = 100 million blind years • Glaucoma 6m x 10 years = 60 million blind years • Diab. retinopathy 3m x 5 years = 15 million blind years • Child blindness 1,5m x 50 years = 75 million blind years

  16. TRENDS IN AGEING POPULATION + BLINDNESS • The number of blind people is increasing in the poor areas of the world because of 3 major factors:- • Increase in population • Increase in life expectancy • Inadequate eye care services (contribution of optometrists can reverse this)

  17. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • The Future?

  19. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • FOUR QUESTIONS • 1. What is it? DEFINITION • 2. How many? MAGNITUDE • 3. Why? CAUSES • 4. What can be done? CONTROL

  20. GLOBAL BLINDNESS

  21. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • SUMMARY • APPROXIMATELY 45 MILLION • INCREASING BY 1-2 MILLION/YR • 90% POORER AREAS OF THE WORLD • 60% TREATABLE • 20% PREVENTABLE ? OUT OF CONTROL ?

  22. VISION 2020 Diseases AMD and otherdiseases Cataract RefractiveErrors Trachoma Vit A Def Oncho’ciasis DiabeticRetinopathy Glaucoma FOCAL DISEASES MORE DIFFICULT TREAT- ABLE ?

  23. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • FOUR QUESTIONS • 1. What is it? DEFINITION • 2. How many? MAGNITUDE • 3. Why? CAUSES • 4. What can be done? CONTROL

  24. PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS • PRIMARY PREVENTION • stop disease occurring • SECONDARY PREVENTION • stop visual loss from established disease • TERTIARY PREVENTION • restore vision • EDUCATION, TRAINING & REHABILITATION

  25. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • What do we know? • What is being done? • What is VISION 2020?

  26. GLOBAL BLINDNESS What is being done - disease control? • Cataract surgery is increasing 10 million ops / yr. • Endemic areas for Trachoma are decreasing. • Onchocerciasis is being brought under control. • Vitamin A deficiency is becoming less common. • Refractive Errors and Low Vision - there is greater awareness of the size of the problem but service delivery activities are still limited.

  27. GLOBAL BLINDNESS What is being done - resources? • Over 100 countries have established programs. • A group of 40 non-governmental organisationscontribute approx. $100 million / year. • Good co-ordination in VISION 2020 programme • ministries of health • ophthalmologists and other professional groups • non - governmental organisations

  28. World Health Organisation- IAPB Global Initiative to Eliminate Avoidable Blindness by the Year 2020

  32. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • The Future?

  33. VISION 2020 BLIND (millions)

  34. Progress • Data based on the 2002 global population show a reduction in the number of people who are blind or visually impaired, and those who are blind from the effects of infectious diseases, but an increase in the number of people who are blind from conditions related to longer life spans. • This underscores the need to modify the health care agenda to include the management of the diseases that are now becoming prevalent.

  35. More than 161 million people were visually impaired, of whom 124 million people had low vision and 37 million were blind.

  36. GLOBAL BLINDNESS • What is possible with todays knowledge and technology?

  37. VISION 2020 • COMPONENTS • 1 Disease control • 2 Infrastructure development • 3 Human resource development

  38. Leading Causes of Blindness Cataract Trachoma Childhood Blindness Refractive Errors Low Vision

  39. CONTROL OF BLINDNESS - TERMINOLOGIES • Primary prevention = prevent the disease from occurring. Eg trachoma. • Secondary prevention = prevent loss of vision from established disease. Eg glaucoma. • Tertiary prevention = restore vision to a blind patient. Eg cataract.

  40. VISION 2020 Diseases AMD and otherdiseases Cataract RefractiveErrors Trachoma Vit A Def Oncho’ciasis DiabeticRetinopathy Glaucoma 15% 15% 60% 10%

  41. MAJOR CAUSES OF BLINDNESS • AFRICA + ASIA - Cataract, trachoma, corneal disease, glaucoma, vitamin A deficiency • LATIN AMERICA - Cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy • NORTH AMERICA + EUROPE - Macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma

  42. VISION 2020 • COMPONENTS • 1 Disease control • 2 Infrastructure development • 3 Human resource development

  43. Infrastructure • Development of: -Delivery systems -Clinics -Access to equipment -Access to consumable and appliances eg. Spectacle frames at affordable rates
