Global Eye Health and Public Health Ophthalmology focus on reducing preventable vision loss and addressing disparities in access to quality eye care across different populations and regions. This field encompasses population-based research, early detection and screening, prevention strategies, treatment access, community eye-care programs, and sustainable healthcare delivery. Advances in teleophthalmology, artificial intelligence, portable imaging, and digital health technologies are creating new opportunities to extend eye-care services to underserved communities. Research also considers affordability, healthcare workforce capacity, infrastructure, health-system challenges, and culturally appropriate approaches to care. This session will bring together clinicians, researchers, public-health professionals, and policymakers to explore evidence-based strategies for strengthening accessible, equitable, and sustainable eye care worldwide.
