  5. Preliminary GBD Expert Group Estimates of Global Number of Persons in 2010 withBlind and Visual Impairment: 33.5 million Blind 199 million MSVI (29.6-38.1) (177-231)

  6. Trends • The prevalence of blindness and MSVI has decreased in the last 20 years, despite the relative increase in older adults in the world population • However, due to population growth, the estimates suggest that absolute blind population has been stable and the population with MSVI has increased.

  15. Summary Statistics • Prelim. estimates 33.5 million people Blind in 2010 (29.6,38.1), 60.6% of Blind were female • 199 million (177,231) had Moderate and Severe Visual Impairment in 2010, 56.8% female • The highest age-standardized prevalence of blindness in those ≥ 50 years was in Western Sub-Saharan Africa at 5.8% • The highest age-standardized prevalence of MSVI in those ≥ 50 years was in South Asia at 24.1%

  16. Summary Trends • The global age-standardized prevalence of blindness for adults aged 50+ years decreased from 3.1% (2.7%-3.6%) worldwide in 1990 to 2.0% (1.8%-2.3%) in 2010. • The global age-standardized prevalence of MSVI for adults aged 50+ years decreased from 14.2% (11.2%-16.1%) worldwide in 1990 to 10.8% (9.7%-12.4%) in 2010.
