NCT ID NCT07333248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why many people in rural Assam who are referred for eye care don't make it to the hospital for treatment. Researchers will test new ways to help patients complete their referrals, like providing transport and reminders. The goal is to increase the number of people who get the eye surgery or glasses they need.
