National consensus on the management of major chronic fundus diseases in China:a modified Delphi approach
The population of various fundus diseases in China is vast,and the number of patients is continuously increasing due to the aging population.In contrast,fundus disease awareness among the general public in China is low,and grassroots screening needs urgent improvement.At the same time,the diagnosis and treatment rate are quite low,and the treatment methods for late-stage diseases are limited,resulting in poor prognosis of visual function and high blindness rate.Chronic fundus diseases require long-term,standardized treatment and long-term follow-up,which can be burdensome for patients,leading to high missed visit rates and reduced therapeutic effects.The"14th Five-Year Plan for Eye Health(2021-2025)"clearly put forward the requirements of strengthening the construction of the fundus disease prevention and control system.We urgently need to develop a management model for chronic diseases of fundus diseases tailored to China's national conditions.This will require establishing corresponding management platforms,improving personnel allocation,and enhancing compliance in the treatment of fundus diseases,to improve treatment effectiveness and fundamentally reduce blindness rates.After China's authoritative experts in the field of fundus diseases through the organization of in-depth and comprehensive thematic discussion,and the use of the improved version of Delphi method for collective decision-making and opinion consultation,a series of consensus guidance and suggestions were finally formed.These valuable professional insights will strongly promote the establishment of an appropriate chronic fundus disease management system in China,ensure that patients with fundus disease get long-term,standardized medical services,and lay a solid foundation for improving the overall prevention and treatment of fundus diseases.
