First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at why some eye centers in rural India have better rates of follow-up after cataract surgery than others. Researchers will study 150 patients and staff at about 120 vision centers to find what works. Then they will test a package of improvements—like reminders, clearer roles, and peer support—to help more people get the follow-up care they need to avoid blindness.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to improve follow-up care after cataract surgery in rural areas, potentially reducing avoidable blindness.
What could go wrong
This is an early implementation study with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to all settings. The intervention is complex and may be hard to sustain long-term.
