    IntroductionWe investigated the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of glaucoma.MethodsThe estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was measured to assess trends in the age-standardized DALY rate from 1990 to 2019.ResultsThe global age-standardized DALY rate of glaucoma decreased with an EAPC of -1.00. The age-standardized DALY rate decreased least in high-SDI regions. Eastern sub-Saharan Africa had highest age-standardized DALY rate in 2019. At the national level, Mali had the highest age-standardized DALY rate in 2019.ConclusionsAlthough the global burden of glaucoma has decreased, the burden remain high in regions with low SDI values and in sub-Saharan Africa.Copyright: © 2023 Termedia & Banach.
