Experiences of older adults and widows with the government allowance programmes in rural Bangladesh
The Government of Bangladesh has digitised social safety net programmes to improve enrollment and allowance disbursement, yet the impact on rural beneficiaries remains unclear. This article examines the experiences of older adults and widows in Kurigram based on 68 semi‐structured interviews. At the administrative level, beneficiaries reported positive aspects such as support for enrollment and disbursement. However, challenges included delays du…
Depression, anxiety, stress symptoms and their determinants among secondary students with vision impairment in rural Northwestern China during the Covid-19 pandemic
Objective: The measures implemented to control the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could affect children's mental and vision health. Youth particularly from minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds were more likely to be impacted by these measures. This study aimed to examine the mental health of children with vision impairment and associated factors in North-western China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cro…
The burden, causes, and determinants of blindness and vision impairment in Asia
Background: Asia accounts for more than half of the world's population and carries a substantial proportion of the global burden of blindness and vision impairment. Characterising this burden, as well as its causes and determinants, could help with devising targeted interventions for reducing the occurrence of blindness and visual impairment. Methods: Using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database, we retrieved data on the number of disab…
Collaboration of health and education sectors drives equity for children with complex disabilities in China
Medical professionals often find it challenging to assess children having both complex disabilities and visual impairment, which may lead to excluding such children from educational programs and limiting their full participation in family and community activities. Identification and assessment of these children are essential to close this exclusion gap. A five-year project in Shanxi province, China, provided comprehensive training to eye health p…
Caretakers’ stated willingness to pay for children’s spectacles in cross river state, Nigeria and its implication for a cross-subsidisation scheme
Combining our previous findings from marketing analysis, these findings provided a basis to plan for a children's spectacles cross-subsidisation scheme in CRS. Further research will be needed to determine the acceptability of the scheme and the actual WTP
Impact of Teacher Incentive Intervention on Students’ Vision Healthcare Uptake
Less than one-third of rural Chinese children with refractive error own or wear eyeglasses. To study the effect of teacher incentives on the acceptance of vision care offered to rural students with uncorrected refractive error, we conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial in 18 townships in one county in Shaanxi Province. Primary and junior high schools within each township were assigned to either intervention (all teachers received an ince…
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…
Causes of blindness and vision impairment in 2020 and trends over 30 years, and prevalence of avoidable blindness in relation to Vision 2020
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…
Impact of a Local Vision Care Center on Glasses Ownership and Wearing Behavior in Northwestern Rural China
Visual impairment is common among rural Chinese children, but fewer than a quarter of children who need glasses actually own and use them. To study the effect of rural county hospital vision centers (VC) on self-reported glasses ownership and wearing behavior (primary outcome) among rural children in China, we conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial at a VC in the government hospital of Qinan County, a nationally-designated poor county. A…
Magnitude, temporal trends, and projections of the global prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment
The impact of parental migration on health status and health behaviours among left behind adolescent school children in China
Our findings suggest that parental migration is a risk factor for unhealthy behaviours amongst adolescent school children in rural China. Further research is required in addition to the consideration of the implications for policies and programmes to protect LBC
