Identifying barriers and potential solutions to improve equitable access to community eye services in central Kenya: a rapid exploratory sequential mixed methods study

Background

Recent research has found that less than half of people identified with an eye problem in Meru county's screening programme were able to access care, with younger adults being the least likely to receive the care they needed. We aimed to interview and survey members of this 'left-behind' group to explore barriers and identify potential solutions using a rapid mixed-methods approach.
