The Health Challenge Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) At risk population - 422M people with diabetes worldwide (2014) 35%, 148M have DR / 11%, 48M have Vision Threatening DR (64M by 2040) Leading cause of blindness among adults worldwide Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Damages macula and impairs central vision 196M by 2020 Third leading cause of vision loss overall, leading cause for those over 50
The Health Challenge Glaucoma (GC) Damages optic nerve & leads to vision loss 80M by 2020 Pathological Myopia (PM) Global Prevalence is 0.9% to 3.1% 35% of people with myopia have High Myopia, which can develop into PM Need for AI: Acute shortage of specialists globally to screen everyone at risk specially in LMICs.
