Non-communicable eye diseases: facing the future
The challenges we face in addressing non-communicable eye disease involve both the patient and the eye health system: that is, everyone and everything involved in eye health delivery. This issue of the Community Eye Health Journal looks at the clinical challenges, new developments such as anti-VEGF drugs, and the health system. The next issue will address patient behaviour.
