4 By the end of this lecture the students should be able to:  Define blindness, visual impairment & low vision according to the WHO- ICD-10 classification  Critically evaluate the definition & its implications  Describe the global burden of blindness & visual impairment.  Identify the major causes of blindness at global and national level.  Recognize the impact of blindness on the life of the individual and the society

5 Azeem Khan a 65 year old person suffered from gradual loss of vision for the past two years. He now has difficulty in recognizing his own family members from a distance of about a yard. He recently retired as a school teacher.

7 Gul Mohammad a 04 year old child had a history of recurrent diarrohea and upper respiratory infections. He lost sight after having an episode of eye illness at the age of two. Currently he can only see light.

8 Haroon is a thirteen year old student of class five. He has been using spectacles since early childhood. Without his spectacles he cannot recognize a person a yard away.

9 Gulzar a 35 year old motor mechanic sustained injury to both his eyes in a bomb blast. Now he can see nothing but darkness.

10  Blindness is defined in different ways in different countries according to the purpose of definition i.e legal, social, clinical etc  WHO recommends the ICD-10 1 –based definition  In Pakistan we use the same 1. International Statistical Classification of Diseases & related health problems, 10 th revision (ICD-10)

12 (ICD-10,Visual impairment (VI) categories 3, 4 & 5)  Blindness is defined as a visual acuity (VA) of less than 3/60 (20/400) in the better eye with best possible correction Or  A visual field in the better eye to less than 10 0 from fixation  Key words?

24 1. Approximately 314 million people suffer from serious visual impairment 2. Of these, 45 million people are blind and 124 million have low vision 3. Yet 75% of blindness is avoidable - i.e. treatable and/or preventable

25 4.90% of visually impaired people live in developing countries 5.Infectious causes of blindness are decreasing as a result of public health interventions and socio-economic development. Blinding trachoma now affects fewer than 80 million people, compared to 360 million in 1985

26 6. 153 million people’s visual impairment is due to uncorrected refractive errors. In most cases, normal vision could be restored with eyeglasses 7. Aging populations and lifestyle changes mean that chronic blinding conditions such as diabetic retinopathy are now rising 8. Women face a greater risk of vision loss than men

27 9.Without effective, major intervention, the number of blind people worldwide is projected to increase to 76 million by 2020 10. Restorations of sight, and blindness prevention strategies are among the most cost-effective interventions in health care
