Trends in the prevalence and burden of blindness and vision loss among adolescents aged 10–24 years in the Western Pacific Region over 30 years
In the context of a declining global trend in the prevalence and burden of blindness and vision loss among adolescents, there is an increasing trend among adolescents in WPR, with the most pronounced rise in China. This finding has important implications for WPR, suggesting that more attention should be given to adolescent eye health in the region.
