Journal ArticleDOI

Global Causes of Blindness and Distance Vision Impairment 1990-2020: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Seth Flaxman, +109 more
TL;DR: A series of regression models were fitted to estimate the proportion of moderate or severe vision impairment and blindness by cause, age, region, and year, and found that world regions varied markedly in the causes of blindness and vision impairment in this age group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnitude, temporal trends, and projections of the global prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Rupert R A Bourne, +109 more
TL;DR: There is an ongoing reduction in the age-standardised prevalence of blindness and visual impairment, yet the growth and ageing of the world's population is causing a substantial increase in number of people affected, highlighting the need to scale up vision impairment alleviation efforts at all levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Classification of Age-related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: The proposed basic clinical classification scale seems to be of value in predicting the risk of late AMD, and incorporating consistent nomenclature into the practice patterns of all eye care providers may improve communication and patient care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ranibizumab versus bevacizumab to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration: one-year findings from the IVAN randomized trial.

TL;DR: The comparison of visual acuity at 1 year between bevacizumab and ranibizumabs was inconclusive, and other outcomes are consistent with the drugs and treatment regimens having similar efficacy and safety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proposed lexicon for anatomic landmarks in normal posterior segment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography: the IN•OCT consensus.

TL;DR: An international panel with expertise in retinal imaging was assembled and a nomenclature system for normal anatomic landmarks seen on SD-OCT outputs has been proposed and adopted and recommended for use in future publications.
