A guide to Australian eye health data describes key Australian data collections which indicate the prevalence and outcomes of eye diseases and injuries and eye health care utilisation. It assesses how these collections inform the National Framework for Action to Promote Eye Health and Prevent Avoidable Blindness and Vision Loss. The report also presents a discussion on the key definitional issues surrounding eye health terminology and presents useful information for the development of future performance indicators in eye health.
