From 1990 to 2021, the disease burden of refraction disorders showed a declining trend, but the decrease was not substantial. In some low-middle SDI regions, the burden remains high. Moreover, globally, women bear a higher burden than men. This study provides important information for the treatment and prevention of refraction disorders.
