Our goal is to provide a review of the impact, global estimates, and projection of vision impairment as well as ongoing systems for eye care delivery.
Many of the blinding diseases in developing countries are preventable or curable, but the lack of ophthalmologists, the lack of education, and the lack of access to any eye care are some of the major obstacles encountered.
As our world becomes more interconnected through globalization, the interactions between different cultures and populations increase. Global ophthalmology is a field dedicated to building sustainable eye care delivery systems to deliver high-quality care in minimal resource settings, with the aim of reducing blindness around the world.
我们的目标是对视力损害的影响、全球估计数和预测以及现行的眼科护理提供系统进行综述。
发展中国家的许多致盲疾病是可预防或可治愈的，但缺乏眼科医生、缺乏教育以及无法获得任何眼科护理是遇到的一些主要障碍。
随着我们的世界通过全球化变得更加相互关联，不同文化和人群之间的互动增加。全球眼科是一个致力于建立可持续眼科护理提供系统的领域，以便在资源最少的环境中提供高质量护理，其目的是减少世界各地的失明现象。
