Today, fewer children are severely visually impaired (visual acuity \u22646\/60) at the time of registration (31.6% since 2010 vs. 51.1% in the 1980s). Cerebral visual impairment and optic nerve atrophy have remained common causes of childhood visual impairment whereas sequelae to retinopathy of prematurity have been almost eliminated as a cause. Systemic comorbidities are more common now in children with visual impairment (seen in 63.9% in the last decades vs. 44.6%in the 1980\u2010ties).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Whereas the prevalence of visual impairment has remained relatively stable over the years, the severity of visual impairment has improved, suggesting that more children will be able to live an active life supported by aids compensating vision loss. However, more children have systemic comorbidities in combination with their visual impairment suggesting that children with visual impairment face a life not only limited by the obstacles of poor vision. This calls for multidisciplinary management and support of affected children and families.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.16700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]],"date-time":"2024-04-25T16:24:37Z","timestamp":1714062277000},"page":"790-796","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Temporal changes in incidence, prevalence and causes of childhood visual impairment \u2013 Learnings from 45\u2009years with the National Danish Registry of Children with Visual Impairment"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"102","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9375-1510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Line","family":"Kessel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Rigshospitalet  Glostrup Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanne","family":"Jensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Rigshospitalet  Glostrup Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann\u2010Cathrine","family":"Larsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Rigshospitalet  Glostrup Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Rosenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Rigshospitalet  Glostrup Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamilla Rothe","family":"Nissen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Rigshospitalet  Glostrup Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Blindness is decreasing among children born preterm during the last four decades in Denmark","author":"Al\u2010Abaiji H.A.","year":"2024","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmologica"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2021.09.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"S\u00e6rforsorgens udl\u00e6gning: et litteraturstudie","author":"Bengtsson S.","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09286586.2013.776692"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0420.1997.tb00123.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jval.2021.05.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.13631"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dev.22408"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/IAE.0000000000003501"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.14403"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","first-page":"1839","article-title":"Blindness due to retrolental fibroplasia in Denmark 1948\u20101985.
