• Description:
  This report details the findings of a literature review on the published prevalence of vision loss and major eye disorders. We conducted a systematic review of the published literature to identify existing measures
  
  of prevalence of vision loss and major eye disorders. This report reviews vision loss, uncorrected refractive error (URE), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, cataract, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
  
  Studies reviewed here varied in their use of demographic variables, study populations, condition definitions, and inclusion of condition types and stages. This literature review summarizes existing published prevalence estimates organized by data source. Many studies are not directly comparable because of differences in study design or population this review makes no attempt to harmonize or directly compare estimates among studies.
  
  To identify the prevalence estimates of six common eye disorders, we performed PubMed searches surveying literature published from 1991 to 2016. Searches were conducted between December 17, 2015 and October 6, 2017.
