  • Evaluating the burden of caregivers of patients with visual impairment

    Open AccessGianni Virgili, Francesco Ferron et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction Despite growing evidence that underscores the importance of the caregiver’s role in the rehabilitation process, visual rehabilitation (VR) programs often overlook these needs. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the caregiving burden (CB) among informal caregivers of visually impaired (VI) patients who attend Italian VR centers, setting the bases for large-scale research. Methods Four Italian VR centers were involved. Demog…

  • Causes of blindness and vision impairment in 2020 and trends over 30 years, and prevalence of avoidable blindness in relation to Vision 2020

    Open AccessJaimie D Steinmetz, Rupert R A Bourne et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Many causes of vision impairment can be prevented or treated. With an ageing global population, the demands for eye health services are increasing. We estimated the prevalence and relative contribution of avoidable causes of blindness and vision impairment globally from 1990 to 2020. We aimed to compare the results with the World Health Assembly Global Action Plan (WHA GAP) target of a 25% global reduction from 2010 to 2019 in avoidab…

  • Trends in prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment over 30 years

    Open AccessRupert Bourne, Jaimie D Steinmetz et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: To contribute to the WHO initiative, VISION 2020: The Right to Sight, an assessment of global vision impairment in 2020 and temporal change is needed. We aimed to extensively update estimates of global vision loss burden, presenting estimates for 2020, temporal change over three decades between 1990-2020, and forecasts for 2050. METHODS: We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based surveys of eye disease from Janua…

  • Human-centred design in global health

    Open AccessAlessandra N Bazzano, Jane Martin et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2017

    Health and wellbeing are determined by a number of complex, interrelated factors. The application of design thinking to questions around health may prove valuable and complement existing approaches. A number of public health projects utilizing human centered design (HCD), or design thinking, have recently emerged, but no synthesis of the literature around these exists. The results of a scoping review of current research on human centered design f…
