简介 最近的数据表明，不包括未矫正屈光不正的人，有 3700 万盲人和 1.24 亿低视力患者。导致全盲的主要原因是白内障、青光眼、角膜疤痕（多种原因引起）、年龄相关性黄斑变性和糖尿病视网膜病变。结论 全球“愿景 2020”倡议似乎正在对减少可避免的失明（特别是眼部感染引起的失明）产生影响，但在解决白内障、青光眼和糖尿病视网膜病变方面还需要做更多工作。
Introduction Recent data suggest that there are 37 million blind people and 124 million with low vision, excluding those with uncorrected refractive errors. The main causes of global blindness are cataract, glaucoma, corneal scarring (from a variety of causes), age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Conclusion It would appear that the global Vision 2020 initiative is having an impact to reduce avoidable blindness particularly from ocular infections, but more needs to be done to address cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
