We used the Wilcoxon signed rank test and linear regression analysis to research the relationship between the age-standardized DALYs rate and gender difference (males minus females) and Socio-demographic Index (SDI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The total all-age prevalence and DALYs due to IOFBs rose by 41.9 and 35.5%, respectively, from 1990 to 2021, and the age-standardized prevalence and DALYs rates decreased by 15.2 and 19.6%. The IOFBs burden was greater among middle-aged and older adult men, especially in 45\u201349\u202fyears. The burden of IOFBs was concentrated in countries of Western Europe, East Asia, High-income North America and Southern Latin America. The age-standardized DALYs rates of males were significantly higher than those of females in all five SDI groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001) in 2021. Pearson\u2019s correlations (r\u202f=\u202f0.3093, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001) and linear regression (Y\u202f=\u202f4.850*X\u202f\u2212\u202f1.857) revealed a significant positive association between gender differences and SDI. The increase in the all-age DALYs of IOFBs was lowest compared with other eye diseases in GBD 2021.
