The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has updated its webpages on eye health in Australia.
More than half of the Australian population reported having a long-term eye condition in 2011-12. There were nearly 230,000 hospitalisations for cataract extraction in 2013-14, and almost 11,000 people were employed in the eye health workforce in 2011, including over 800 ophthalmologists, around 4,000 optometrists, and over 6,000 allied ophthalmic personnel.
The site also provides links to global and national eye health policies.
