GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF ACUTE EYE DISEASES BY GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS AND PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
Abstract
Acute eye diseases, including conjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis, and acute glaucoma, contribute significantly to global ocular morbidity and visual impairment. Their prevalence and distribution vary across geographic regions due to differences in climate, socioeconomic conditions, healthcare access, environmental exposures, and infectious agents. This review analyzes the global epidemiology of acute eye diseases by region and highlights evidence-based preventive strategies. Understanding regional patterns is essential for designing effective public health interventions, early diagnosis, and reduction of vision loss worldwide.
