Childhood blindness incidence and aetiologies trends in Israel 2014-2020: what should we focus on?

The incidence of CHB certifications in Israel remained stable with a slight increase, stemming chiefly from RDYS resurgence and an increase in ORD. Main causes remained ONA and RDYS. The most common avoidable cause, ROP, remained scarce, maintaining the reduction seen in the earlier decade, as did cataract, glaucoma, and amblyopia. This may support future nationwide prevention policies to decrease the incidence of RDYS and ORD.
