This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Download or read book Eye Health Challenges and Solutions written by Kai Cao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eye health is an important part of public health. It is estimated that more than 40 million people are blind and more than 550 million people suffer from mild to severe visual impairment by 2020. In addition, at least one billion people worldwide suffer from visual impairment, most of which could have been prevented. The majority of people with vision impairment and blindness are over the age of 50 years; however, vision loss can affect people of all ages. The World Health Organization reports that the top causes of blindness and vision loss include cataract, uncorrected ametropia, glaucoma, age-related macular disease, diabetes retinopathy, etc. As people's lifestyles change, the disease spectrum is evolving across the globe, and responses and strategies need to change in time. Efforts to reduce the prevalence, incidence, progression of eye diseases could have a profound impact on public health. The aim of the current Research Topic is to focus on recent and novel research trends in ocular diseases (glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, myopia, etc) and visual impairment, especially preventive strategies to avoid younger age of ocular diseases onset and vision loss. Additionally, new studies are important to identify strategies that would help better screen ocular diseases or prevent vision loss. We aim for a state-of-the-art collection of articles that will provide professionals and managers with knowledge of the risk factors, prediction, screening, management, and prevention of ocular diseases, as well as the risk factors, prediction, management, and prevention of vision loss.
