Authors

Abstract
Refractive error, a
leading cause of visual impairment worldwide, poses significant public health
challenges in India. Despite its correctability, the prevalence of uncorrected
refractive errors remains high, particularly in rural and underprivileged
populations. This paper critically explores the burden of refractive error in
India, its socio-economic implications, barriers to corrective measures, and
the effectiveness of government and non-government interventions. By
synthesizing data from peer-reviewed studies, surveys, and health policy
documents, this study provides an evidence-based understanding of the issue and
proposes actionable solutions to address the gap in eye care services.
