Changes in the prevalence, causes of visual impairment, and cataract service coverage in Karamoja, Uganda, between 2015 and 2023: Findings from two cross-sectional surveys
Two rapid assessments of avoidable blindness (RAAB) surveys were conducted in the Karamoja subregion, Uganda, in 2015 and 2023. This paper reports the observed changes in prevalence, causes of visual impairment and coverage of cataract services and examines how the trends differ for males and females. Standard RAAB methodology was used in both studies. Two-stage cluster sampling was used to generate random samples of adults aged over 50 years. Pa…
Access to eye health services among older people with disabilities in Karamoja, Uganda: A qualitative exploration of successful care seeking
Older people with disabilities in Karamoja face a range of disability-specific challenges in their abilities to perceive, seek, reach and engage with health care.
