Ophthalmic trauma is a substantial yet overlooked public health challenge, pertinent across all age groups, geographies, and socioeconomic statuses. Despite being largely preventable, it constitutes a major cause of monocular vision loss and long-term disability-adjusted life years among ophthalmic conditions, with a disproportionately high burden in low- and middle-income countries. Integrating original data from the International Globe and Adnexal Trauma Epidemiology Study (IGATES) registry, this hybrid perspective provides an overview of the global burden of ophthalmic trauma and emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated public health strategies focused on prevention and intervention.

PURPOSENo study has explored the longitudinal association between cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We aimed to investigate the associations between CKM syndrome, genetic predisposition, and AMD risk.DESIGNRetrospective cohort study.PARTICIPANTSA total of 319,638 participants from the UK Biobank who did not have AMD at baseline.METHODSCKM syndrome was diagnosed based on the presence of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic risk factors. We categorized participants into stage 0-4 according to their CKM syndrome status. A genetic risk score was used to estimate genetic predisposition to AMD. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident AMD.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESAMD incidence.RESULTSDuring a median follow-up of 12.5 years, 4,982 AMD cases were identified. After multivariable adjustment, the HRs (95% CIs) for AMD were 1.15 (1.02-1.30), 1.25 (1.13-1.38), 1.22 (1.08-1.38), and 1.48 (1.30-1.68) for participants in CKM stage 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, compared to those in CKM stage 0. No significant interaction between genetic predisposition and CKM syndrome was observed (P for interaction = 0.06). Joint analyses showed that compared to those with CKM stage 0 and low genetic predisposition, individuals with CKM stage 4 and high genetic predisposition, exhibited the highest risk of AMD (HR = 2.67, 95% CI: 2.22-3.33).CONCLUSIONSPoor CKM health was positively associated with AMD risk, independent of genetic predisposition.
