[The problems and challenges in the current eye health management in China]

The core goal of "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Eye Health (2016 to 2020)" is to obtain eye health. At present, there are still several problems hampering Chinese eye health management system development, including the lack of top policy design, system protection and financial investment, weak support from primary health care institutions, other medical disciplines and social forces, and insufficient digital information. To achieve effective eye health management, it is necessary to address the sustainability of eye health management, the integrity of eye health digital information data and the feasibility of eye health payment. It is recommended that eye health-related medical workers take positive actions to strengthen the digital information construction and service capacity construction of eye disease prevention and control network, carry out health promotion extensively, and conduct eye health management mode research and practice.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2017, 53: 481-483).
