Enhancing and Modernizing the US Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

NOTE: This is a Forecasted Opportunity.

Visual acuity loss and blindness are significant public health problems, affecting more than 7 million people in the United States. Visual acuity loss is associated with a higher prevalence of comorbid conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, falls, injuries, depression, and premature mortality. Visual acuity loss, which can be prevented through early detection and timely treatment of common eye diseases, costs the nation more than $130 billion annually. The most common eye diseases that may cause irreversible vision loss include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Other treatable forms of vision loss, such as cataract and refractive errors, affect millions of Americans. These conditions are common and expected to increase over the next 30 years due to changing demographics in the U.S. population and an increase in risk factors such as diabetes. Eye diseases also contribute to health disparities in the population. Glaucoma, which affects more than 2.7 million individuals in the U.S., is the leading cause of irreversible blindness among African Americans. In addition, important social determinants of health contribute to these disparities in vision health. National and state data suggest that only about a half of those at high risk for serious vision loss had visited an eye doctor in the past year.

Surveillance of eye diseases and related topics is essential to track the magnitude of disease, associated risk factors, and social determinants of health, identify priority populations for intervention, set and monitor national objectives, and inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of public health strategies to support vision health. The purpose of this project is to maintain, enhance, and modernize CDC’s Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS), using valid and reliable data from a variety of sources, in order to assess U.S. national, state, and county-level prevalence of the major eye diseases, vision impairment, utilization of eye care services, and related risk factors and social determinants of health.
