Global, regional, and national burden of refraction disorders: findings from the global burden of disease study 2021 and projections to 2050
The global burden of refraction disorders decreased significantly from 1990 to 2021 and is expected to decline further by 2050. Females continue to experience a greater burden compared to males. Population growth emerged as the primary driver of changes in the ASR of prevalence and DALYs. While countries with low socio-demographic index (SDI) face a disproportionately high burden, SDI-related inequalities have gradually lessened over time.
