Abstract

Abstract The negative impact of climate change on human health is well documented but under-recognized (e.g., air pollution, malnutrition, water-source contamination, and altered vector and waterborne transmission of infectious disease). The impact of climate change on eye health remains significantly underappreciated, whereas climate change impacts every country, lower and lesser-income countries will be disproportionately affected further exacerbating global health inequalities. In this manuscript, we examine the potential effects of climate changes on ocular health on our planet.
