By evaluating published articles and reviews from national journals between 2006 March 2025, we identify key areas of focus, including paediatric optometry, refractive errors, and advanced diagnostic techniques. China's research emphasises pathogenesis and retinal diseases, driven by its aging population and high prevalence of chronic conditions, while Japan prioritises binocular vision and professional practice across all age groups. Korea focuses on accommodation, contact lenses, and the impact of digital technology on vision, reflecting its high prevalence of myopia among children. These variations are shaped by demographic trends and public health strategies. China's targeted health policy, the \u201cChina Five\u2010Year National Plan for Eye Health 2016\u20132020,\u201d has directly influenced domestic research, particularly in artificial intelligence and diagnostics. In contrast, Japan's \u201cVision Health Care 2035\u201d and Korea's \u201cNational Health Plan 2030\u201d have had a more limited effect on shaping optometry research, with trends driven more by societal needs\u2014such as Japan's aging population and Korea's focus on children's digital device use. The findings highlight how China's policy\u2010driven approach directly influences research priorities, while in Japan and Korea, research responds more to demographic shifts. This comparative analysis underscores the importance of targeted national policies in advancing healthcare innovation and shaping research directions in optometry. This study offers actionable insight into how targeted health policies, demographic transitions, and clinical practice models shape national optometric research agendas, providing a framework for aligning future research with healthcare goals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpm.70023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]],"date-time":"2025-09-26T13:29:24Z","timestamp":1758893364000},"page":"37-46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Driving Innovation: The Impact of National Health Policies on Optometry Research in East Asia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Jihye","family":"Ahn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Depertment of Optometry Seoul National University of Science and Technology  Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5728-5364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moonsung","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Depertment of Optometry Seoul National University of Science and Technology  Seoul Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences Graduate School of SeoulTech\u2010KIRAMS Medical Sciences Seoul National University of Science and Technology  Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1444\u20100938.2007.00149.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ceo.12954"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clae.2009.04.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2010.09.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaophthalmol.2021.4774"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2013.02.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.2010.182386"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/apo.0000000000000492"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2003.046755"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.optom.2019.09.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10810730590915128"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10580530.2011.536112"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40537\u2010020\u201000368\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen\u20102022\u2010060810"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.optom.2022.09.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08164622.2023.2197578"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s2214\u2010109x(13)70145\u20101"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2023.09.06"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10671\u2010022\u201009321\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","volume-title":"Health Policy: An Introduction to Process and Power","author":"Walt G.","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.3093285"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","unstructured":"China Five Year National Plan for Eye Health 2016\u20102020.2016.
