Blue Mountains Eye Study

The Blue Mountains Eye Study is a large research project conducted in Australia to understand eye health and vision problems among adults. It examines how common eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration are, and how factors such as aging, lifestyle, and health impact eye health. By analyzing data from thousands of participants over time, the study aims to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of eye diseases, ultimately helping to reduce vision loss and improve quality of life for older adults.
