Global Glaucoma Prevalence: Burden and Projection to 2060

There is a significant, previously underestimated, increase in OAG burden globally, driven by the rising prevalence of myopia. This adds additional OAG burden, particularly to younger populations less than 40 years. Thus, myopia prevention and new targeted screening strategies are important to tackle OAG, especially in regions with a high prevalence of myopia.

Abstract

There is a significant, previously underestimated, increase in OAG burden globally, driven by the rising prevalence of myopia. This adds additional OAG burden, particularly to younger populations less than 40 years. Thus, myopia prevention and new targeted screening strategies are important to tackle OAG, especially in regions with a high prevalence of myopia.
