If you would like to explore these data in different ways, you can select:
- Location: compare up to three different GBD Super Regions.
- Time: look at trends in the data between 1990 and 2020.
- Age: look at vision loss in 10 year intervals from 50 to 90+.
- Cause: look at how different eye conditions cause distance vision loss. Cause data default to adults 50+ as most data is from this group.
You can then select the location, year, vision loss measure, age and gender to explore vision loss predicted by the VLEG/GBD 2020 model.
