据统计，目前全球有近14亿近视人口，近视已成为全球主要的健康问题。近视不仅影响个人的视力健康，还可能引发多种严重的并发症，如高度近视相关的黄斑变性和视网膜脱离等，严重时可导致失明。除了对个人健康的影响，近视还带来了巨大的经济负担，包括直接医疗成本(如眼镜、隐形眼镜、矫正手术等费用)和间接成本(如生产力下降、学习能力降低和生活质量的下降)。在中国，近视的问题尤其显著，近视患病率居高不下，这不仅对个人健康构成威胁，也对社会和经济造成重大影响。国际上，近视的经济负担研究涵盖了医疗直接成本、患者时间成本及生产力损失等方面，可以帮助政府和卫生部门了解近视疾病的经济影响，从而制定合理的公共卫生政策和资源分配策略，优化医疗资源使用，减少社会成本。该文从近视疾病经济负担的构成及其测算方式、国内外经济负担现况等方面对近视疾病经济负担进行简要综述，旨在提供一个关于近视疾病经济负担的综合性认识，指出当前研究的方向和成果，以及预防近视和减轻其经济负担的重要性，为未来研究提供方向和基础。

It is estimated that there are nearly 1.4 billion myopic people in the world, and myopia becomes a significant global health problem. Myopia not only affects visual health, but also leads to serious complications such as macular degeneration and retinal detachment, which can cause blindness in severe cases. Apart from its impact on health, myopia also imposes a substantial economic burden. This burden includes direct medical costs (e.g., expenses for eyeglasses, contact lenses, and corrective surgeries) as well as indirect costs (e.g., reduced productivity, learning abilities, and quality of life). The prevalence of myopia is particularly high in China, posing a threat not only to individual health, but also to society and the economy. International studies on the economic burden of myopia have examined the direct medical costs, patient time costs and productivity loss. These studies help governments and health authorities understand the economic impact of myopia to develop effective public health and resource allocation strategies.. By optimizing medical resources and reducing social costs, these measures aim to alleviate the economic burden. This article provides an overview of the economic burden of myopia, including its definition, measurement, current status at home and abroad, and the importance of prevention and alleviation. It also highlights the current research directions and findings, to provide focusing fields and foundations for future research.
