Title: Effective refractive error coverage: an eye health indicator to measure progress towards universal health coverage.
Authors: McCormick, Ian (AUTHOR), Mactaggart, Islay (AUTHOR), Bastawrous, Andrew (AUTHOR), Burton, Matthew J (AUTHOR), Ramke, Jacqueline (AUTHOR)
Source: Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics. Jan2020, Vol. 40 Issue 1, p1-5. 5p. 1 Diagram, 2 Charts.
Subjects: Refractive errors, Presbyopia, Photorefractive keratectomy, Anisometropia, Health status indicators, Soft contact lenses
Abstract: In 2015, all United Nations Member States adopted seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to be achieved by 2030.[1] One of these - SDG 3 - relates specifically to health, and includes a target (3.8) to "achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all."[1] The purpose of an eye care coverage indicator is to quantify the proportion of a population with an eye health need that has had that need met. To improve monitoring of this vast eye health need, standardised definitions, methods and reporting of presbyopic need and coverage in population-based surveys is required.
