Abstract
AbstractThis article provides a summary of available data on Māori ocular health, highlighting significant disparities between Māori and non‐Māori populations. Māori are more likely to develop diabetes, sight‐threatening retinopathy and keratoconus, and present for cataract surgery earlier with more advanced disease. Limited data exists for macular degeneration and glaucoma, but there is some suggestion that Māori may have lower prevalence rates. The article emphasises the urgent need for robust national data on Māori ocular health to enable targeted interventions and funding allocation. Achieving equity for Māori in all aspects of health, including ocular health, requires concerted efforts from all stakeholders.
