With 2020 being the final year of the 13th Five-Year National Eye Health Plan(2016-2020) and the VISION 2020 initiative, under the support of the Bureau of Medical Administration under the National Health Commission, the White Paper on Eye Health in China was prepared, aiming to comprehensively introduce the achievements of eye health in China, as well as the work experience and challenges in the development of eye health. Under the guidance of the "Healthy China 2030" and with the aim to further promote the high-quality development of eye health during the 14th Five-Year Plan period and further improve people's eye health, the National Health Commission formulated the 14th Five-Year National Eye Health Plan (2021-2025).
