National Eye Database (NED)
The National Eye Database (NED) is a service supported by the
Ministry of Health (MOH) as an approach to collect health
information. It collects data on incidences and distributions,
and evaluates risk factors as well as treatment outcome of
visually threatening eye diseases such as cataract, diabetic
retinopathy, glaucoma and contact lens related corneal ulcer. In
the initial phase, NED will collect data on cataract surgery,
status of diabetic retinopathy in new diabetic patients, contact
lens related corneal ulcer and glaucoma patients. Besides
disease registry, NED also collects monthly service census of
MOH Ophthalmology departments. The census serves as an effort to
monitor key performance indicators of each ophthalmology
department in the MOH.
Information collected at NED will be very useful in assisting
the MOH, Non-Governmental Organizations, private healthcare
providers and industry in program planning and evaluation,
leading to eye disease prevention and control as well as
continuous improvement of ophthalmic service in the nation.
