Summary
This study tested if sending SMS reminders to parents helps children get follow-up eye care after a school vision screening. About 320 children aged 5-15 from two schools in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, were screened using a smartphone app. Those who needed further care were split into two groups: one got a standard paper referral, and the other got the paper referral plus automated text reminders with health tips and hospital directions. The main goal was to see how many children actually visited the hospital within eight weeks.
