Willingness to pay for a second pair of near-vision glasses
Having experience with the first pair of near-vision glasses can increase desirability of procuring subsequent pairs. Offering the second pair at a reduced price can increase the uptake substantially in this setting, suggesting that active outreach to correct near vision in tandem with accessible and affordable marketplaces for reading glasses could provide a viable solution to scale near vision correction
Comparison of Telephone and In-Person Interview Modalities
Background Our research team conducted phenomenological interviews in Kenya with people who were not able to access community eye health services, aiming to explore the barriers and ideas for potential service modifications.

Access to essential eye services is low and unequal in Meru, with less than a third of those aged 18-44 receiving the care they need. Future work should explore the specific barriers faced by this group

Background: Over one billion people worldwide live with avoidable blindness or vision impairment. Eye Health Programmes tackle this by providing screening, primary eye care, refractive correction, and referral to hospital eye services. One point where patients can be lost in the treatment journey is adherence to hospital referral. Context: Peek Vision's software solutions have been used in Pakistan with the goal of increasing eye health programme…
A School Eye Health Rapid Assessment (Sehra) planning tool
The SEHRA survey module 'the magnitude and nature of local needs in school children' can be applied in any context. In certain circumstances, the confidence in the survey data will be reduced
The Lancet Global Health Commission on Global Eye Health
There is extensive evidence showing that improving eye health contributes directly and indirectly to achieving many Sustainable Development Goals, including reducing poverty and improving work productivity, general and mental health, and education and equity. Improving eye health is a practical and cost-effective way of unlocking human potential. Eye health needs to be reframed as an enabling, cross-cutting issue within the sustainable developmen…
Utilization of Secondary Eye Care Services in Western Kenya
Background: Eye care provision is currently insufficient to meet the population's eye health needs in Kenya. Many people remain unnecessarily visually impaired or at risk of becoming so due to treatable or preventable conditions. A lack of access and awareness of services are key barriers, in large part due to their being too few eye care providers in the health system for this unmet need. Methods: A hospital-based, retrospective analysis of pati…
