Global trends in refractive disorders from 1990 to 2021: insights from the global burden of disease study and predictive modeling.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to provide global, regional, and national estimates of the refractive disorders-related burden between 1990 and 2021, stratified by subtypes.

Design

A retrospective analysis was conducted using aggregated data.

Methods

Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 (GBD 2021), this population-based study analyzed the burden of refractive disorders from 1990 to 2021. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to quantify temporal trends in age-standardized rates of refractive disorder prevalence and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), stratified by age, sex, region, and country. The associations between EAPCs in age-standardized rates and socio-demographic index (SDI) were also exami
