Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood blindness in the context of VISION 2020: the right to sight
Clare Gilbert,Allen Foster +1 more
TL;DR: Strategies need to be region specific, based on activities to prevent blindness in the community--through measles immunization, health education, and control of vitamin A deficiency--and the provision of tertiary-level eye care facilities for conditions that require specialist management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinopathy of prematurity: a global perspective of the epidemics, population of babies at risk and implications for control.
TL;DR: The reasons for this "third epidemic" of ROP are discussed as well as strategies for control, including the need for locally relevant, evidence based criteria which ensure that all babies at risk are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Infants With Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity in Countries With Low, Moderate, and High Levels of Development: Implications for Screening Programs
Clare Gilbert,Alistair R. Fielder,Luz Gordillo,Graham E. Quinn,Renato Semiglia,Patricia Visintin,Andrea Zin +6 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that larger, more mature infants are developing severe ROP in countries with low/moderate levels of development compared with highly developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preterm-associated visual impairment and estimates of retinopathy of prematurity at regional and global levels for 2010
TL;DR: Improved care, including oxygen delivery and monitoring, for preterm babies in all facility settings would reduce the number of babies affected with ROP and improve data tracking and coverage of locally adapted screening/treatment programs.
Journal Article
Genes and environment in refractive error : The twin eye study
TL;DR: Genetic effects are of major importance in myopia/hyperopia; astigmatism appears to be dominantly inherited.
