We have invested in collating population level data on eye health and advice on tackling risk factors. This information was published in the Atlas of Variation in August 2021. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities is continuing to invest in developing further eye health metrics to support local systems in commissioning and evaluating services to improve eye health.
