Abstract

PURPOSE: For the past 25 years, the WHO Programme for the Prevention of Blindness and Deafness has maintained a Global Data Bank on visual impairment with the purpose of storing the available epidemiological data on blindness and low vision. The Data Bank has now been updated to include studies conducted since the last update in 1994. METHODS: An extensive literature search was conducted in international and national scientific and medical journals to identify epidemiological studies that fulfilled basic criteria for inclusion in the Data Bank, namely a clearly stated definition of blindness and low vision, and prevalence rates derived from population-based surveys. Sources such as National Prevention of Blindness Programmes, academic institutions or WHO country or regional reports were also investigated. RESULTS: Two-hundred-and-eight population-based studies on visual impairment for 68 countries are reported in detail, providing an up-to-date, comprehensive compilation of the available information on visual impairment and its causes globally.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
