New IHE report: Health economic consequences of undetected visual impairment in older adults
Visual impairment is a growing public health challenge in ageing societies. Many older adults live with undetected vision problems that affect daily functioning, safety, and independence. A new report from IHE – The Swedish Institute for Health Economics investigates the clinical, economic, and quality-of-life consequences of systematic vision screening among adults aged 75 and older in Sweden and Denmark.
The study was carried out within the EU-funded Interreg Undetected Visual Impairment project and includes data from primary care, optician settings, and homecare services.
