UN member states have committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This Review examines the published evidence on how improving eye health can contribute to advancing the SDGs (beyond SDG 3). We identified 29 studies that showed direct benefits from providing eye health services on SDGs related to one or more of poverty (SDGs 1, 2, and 8), education (SDG 4), equality (SDGs 5 and 10), and sustainable cities (SDG 11). The eye health services included cataract surgery, free cataract screening, provision of spectacles, trichiasis surgery, rehabilitation services, and rural community eye health volunteers. These findings provide a comprehensive perspective on the direct links between eye health services and advancing the SDGs. In addition, eye health services likely have indirect effects on multiple SDGs, mediated through one of the direct effects. Finally, there are additional plausible links to other SDGs, for which evidence has not yet been established.
联合国会员国承诺到 2030 年实现可持续发展目标（SDGs）。本综述考察了关于改善眼健康如何有助于推进可持续发展目标（超越可持续发展目标 3）的已发表证据。我们确定了 29 项研究，这些研究表明，提供眼保健服务对与以下一个或多个可持续发展目标相关的目标有直接益处：减贫（可持续发展目标 1、2 和 8）、教育（可持续发展目标 4）、平等（可持续发展目标 5 和 10）和可持续城市（可持续发展目标 11）。这些眼保健服务包括白内障手术、免费白内障筛查、提供眼镜、沙眼手术、康复服务和农村社区眼保健志愿者。这些发现提供了一个全面的视角，说明了眼保健服务与推进可持续发展目标之间的直接联系。此外，眼保健服务可能通过其中一种直接影响对多个可持续发展目标产生间接影响。最后，还有其他可能与其他可持续发展目标相关的联系，但尚未建立证据。
