What are the national policies on eye health?

National eye health policies mainly include the following aspects:

I. "The 14th Five-Year Plan for National Eye Health (2021-2025)"

This is an important document issued by the National Health Commission, aiming to effectively carry out China's eye health work during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, further improve the eye health level of the people, and continuously promote the high-quality development of China's eye health cause. The plan clarifies the main goals, including improving ophthalmic medical services, focusing on children and the elderly, and strengthening primary-level service capacity building, etc.

II. Myopia Prevention and Control Guidelines

In recent years, the incidence of myopia in China has remained high, and myopia has become a major public health problem affecting the eye health of Chinese citizens, especially children and adolescents. To this end, the National Health Commission has issued the "Myopia Prevention and Control Guidelines" to provide standardized guidance on myopia prevention and control. The guidelines cover the definition, classification, clinical manifestations, diagnostic key points, related examinations, correction and control of myopia, providing comprehensive guidance for myopia prevention and control and treatment.

III. Promoting the orderly development of corneal donation

Corneal donation is an important work in the field of eye health, which is of great significance in helping blind and visually impaired people restore their sight. National policies have also paid attention to and supported this aspect, promoting the orderly development of corneal donation and providing assistance to more patients in need of corneal transplantation.

In general, national eye health policies cover multiple aspects, including improving ophthalmic medical services, strengthening myopia prevention and control work, and promoting corneal donation. The implementation of these policies will help protect the eye health rights and interests of the people, improve eye health levels, and promote the sustainable development of the eye health cause.
