This week's featured article addresses the issues of unequal access to eye care and its significant impact on vision health. Many individuals, particularly in underserved communities, face barriers such as socioeconomic status, geographic location, and insufficient healthcare infrastructure, which prevent them from receiving essential eye care. These challenges lead to delayed diagnoses and untreated vision problems, exacerbating health inequities and increasing the prevalence of preventable vision impairment and blindness.
Make it a great week!
