Integrating eye care in low-income and middle-income settings: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Integrated people-centred eye care has been recommended as a strategic framework for reducing global vision impairment and blindness. The extent to which eye care has integrated with other services has not been widely reported. We aimed to investigate approaches to integrating eye care service delivery with other systems in low resource settings, and identify factors associated with integration.

Design

Rapid scoping review based on Cochrane Rapid Review and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Data sources

MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases were searched in September 2021.

Eligibility criteria

Papers with interventions involving eye care or preventative eye care integrated
