title: Prevalence of Vision Loss in North Africa and Middle East in 2020: Magnitude and Temporal Trends

description: The purpose of the current study was to update the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment (VI) in North Africa and the Middle East (NAME) region and to address the current status of its trends in 2020. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based surveys of eye disease from January, 1980, to October, 2018. We assessed the prevalence of blindness, moderate and severe VI (MSVI), severe VI, moderate VI, mild VI, and presbyopia in NAME region in 2020. In NAME region in 2020, the age-standardised prevalence per 1000, for all ages and sexes, was 0.70 (0.59–0.80) for blindness, 4.31 (3.91–4.72) for MSVI, 0.54 (0.47–0.60) for severe VI, 3.77 (3.38–4.18) for moderate VI, 2.68 (2.42–2.97) for mild VI, and 3.21 (2.29–4.35) for presbyopia. The all-ages and ≥50 year’s age-standardised prevalence were higher in females than in males for all categories of vision impairment. In 2020, 3.09 (2.51–3.75) million people were blind, 21.83 (18.97–24.97) million had MSVI, 2.53 (2.11–3.03) million had severe VI, and 19.30 (16.57–22.27) million had moderate VI. Between 2000 and 2020, age-standardised prevalence of blindness and other categories of visual impairment decreased in all ages and among adults over than 50 years. Although the absolute numbers of people with blindness and MSVI have increased between 1990 and 2020 in NAME region, the overall prevalence and the age standardized prevalence in those aged 50+ years have decreased significantly for the same period.

title: Association Between Body Mass Index and Myopia: Results from NHANES and Mendelian Randomization

description: <b><i>Purpose</i></b>: Previous studies have shown a conflicting association between body mass index and myopia. This study aimed to analyze the possible association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and myopia in the observational design and genetic evidence. <b><i>Methods</i></b>: In the observational investigation, 5,710 participants (12–25 years) from the 2001–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included. Weighted logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline (RCS) and stratified analysis were conducted in the NHANES. A two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) study using Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) summary statistics and GWAS catalog was performed. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used as the main analysis method, and the sensitivity analysis was performed to detect pleiotropy and heterogeneity bias. <b><i>Results</i></b>: In the fully adjusted model, individuals with obesity had a higher risk of myopia [<i>OR</i> = 1.253, 95% <i>CI</i>= (1.049, 1.496), <i>p</i> = 0.014] and mild and moderate myopia [<i>OR</i> = 1.305, 95% <i>CI</i>= (1.094, 1.558), <i>p</i> = 0.004]. BMI was correlated with refractive spherical equivalent and showed a linear relationship (<i>P</i> for nonlinearity = 0.468, <i>p</i> = 0.002,β=-0.016). In males, obesity had an association with myopia, while there was no statistical significance in females. In the subgroup with an education level of &lt; 9th Grade, obesity and myopia exhibited consistent results. Two-sample MR showed that obesity had no statistically significant with myopia and refractive error. <b><i>Conclusions</i></b>: This study suggests that the associations between BMI and the risk of myopia differ based on gender and education levels in an observational study, while there are no associations in genetic evidence.

title: Prevalence of Blindness and Visual Impairment in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2020: Magnitude and Temporal Trends. Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

description: To assess burden of blindness and visual impairment (VI) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as of 2020, the planned end point of the Vision 2020 program. A systematic review and meta-analysis assessed burden, in the better eye, of blindness (presenting distance visual acuity, VA &lt; 3/60), moderate and severe vision impairment (MSVI; VA &lt; 6/18 but ≥ 3/60) and mild vision impairment (VA &lt; 6/12 and ≥ 6/18); and also functional presbyopia ( In 2020, an estimated 5,083,000 people (95%Uncertainty Interval, UI, 4,474,000–5,696,000) in SSA were bilaterally blind; 20442,000 more (95%UI 18,568,000–22,430,000) had MSVI. The age-standardized prevalence of blindness in SSA is the highest for any GBD super-region, nearly double the world average (0.99%, 95%UI, 0.85–1.12; vs 0.52%, 95% UI, 0.46–0.59 respectively). The Western (4.15%) and Eastern (3.79%) SSA sub-regions had the highest age-standardized prevalence of blindness for the 50+ age group amongst SSA sub-regions. Improvement in age-specific prevalence since 2000 was less than the Vision 2020 target (−25%) for all subcategories of VI; improvement in blindness was the only category close to the goal (about 80–100% of goal across SSA sub-regions). The SSA age-specific prevalence of VI has generally improved since 2000, especially for blindness. However, the number of VI cases has increased with population growth and aging, and Vision 2020 targets were not met. Because most causes of VI require individual-level clinical care, large increases in training and eye care delivery systems development/financing are critical areas of focus.

title: Refractive Profiles in Children Receiving School-Based Eye Exams Following Vision Screening from a Large School-Based Vision Program in 2016 to 2022

description: To describe refractive error findings and associated factors in students who received school-based eye exams following vision screenings. Cross-sectional study of pre-kindergarten through 12<sup>th</sup> grade students who failed vision screening and underwent a school-based eye exam in the Northeast region of the United States during 2016–2022. Non-cycloplegic autorefraction and visual acuity measurements were used to categorize refractive error by type and severity. Main outcomes included any refractive error (at least −0.50D myopia, +0.50 hyperopia, 1.00D astigmatism, or 1.00D anisometropia), clinically significant refractive error (CSRE; more severe refractive error with decreased vision), and refractive amblyopia risk (RAR). Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression was used to determine student- and school-level characteristics associated with refractive error outcomes. Of 103,159 included students who failed screening, 95,875 (92.9%) were analyzed. Overall prevalence of any refractive error was 94.2%, with 81.7% having CSRE. Pre-kindergarten & kindergarten students had the highest prevalence of CSRE (85.7%), which dropped to 77.0% by 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> grade before rising with each higher grade level thereafter. Prevalence of RAR was 60.9% overall and highest in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students (73.8%). Myopia was the most prevalent refractive error, followed by astigmatism, anisometropia, then hyperopia. The odds of hyperopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia decreased with higher grade level. Over 80% of students who failed vision screening at a large school-based vision program had CSRE, and over 60% had RAR. Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students had an especially high prevalence of RAR. Refractive error remained common in every grade level.

title: Disparities in Vision-Related Functional Impairments Among Adults in the United States

description: To investigate the relationships between vision-related functional impairment (VFI) with sociodemographic and healthcare access factors in a representative sample of the United States population. Data from the 2017 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used. The NHIS involves responses from the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population aged 18 years or older. It provides self-reported data on demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, health status, and healthcare access. NHIS participants who responded to at least one of our target questions about VFI were included in the study. VFI was defined for participants based on their ‘yes’ or ‘no’ responses to target questions about experiencing a VFI. Data analysis was performed through univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Overall, 26,711 participants were included, of which 6926 (25.9%) participants reported experiencing a VFI. In univariable analysis, there were greater odds of VFI among females (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.07–1.26, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), and participants with less than a high school degree compared to those with an advanced degree (OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.02–1.33, <i>p</i> = 0.02). Among economic and healthcare access factors, greater odds of VFI was associated with public health insurance versus private coverage (OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.07–1.32, <i>p</i> = 0.001), having delayed medical care due to costs (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.86–2.10, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), and being unemployed (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.26–1.53, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Participants whose incomes were lower than the poverty threshold (OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.32–1.80, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) had higher odds of VFI than those with income &gt;5× poverty threshold. Several demographic and economic factors are associated with VFI in a representative sample of the U.S. population. These results highlight the importance of addressing social and economic factors that are associated with the development of VFI.

title: The Demon Within: Sensationalism, crime, and morality in the comics of Mexican serial killer Goyo Cárdenas, the Tacuba Strangler

description: Drawing on history, literary criticism, and media theory, this paper addresses the comics of Mexican serial killer Goyo Cárdenas, the Tacuba Strangler. I argue that post-revolutionary Mexico’s sensational literature, particularly the <i>Nota Roja</i> and true crime comics set the context for the creation of Goyo Cárdenas popular legend. Based on the analysis of his comics, autobiographical books, and interviews with cartoonists, I argue that the comics’ criminal sensationalism allowed Cárdenas to construct a public moral façade, while at the same time the comics’ plots and format enabled him to project his murderous fantasies in a sanitised fashion. I conceptualise this process as the construction of an externalised morality around a set of detached lustful homicidal fantasies, which permitted Cárdenas to recreate himself as a reformed individual before public opinion in post-revolutionary Mexico’s pathological public sphere, within which Goyo’s stories contributed to the reproduction of a criminal literacy among Mexican popular classes.
