Eyes & Vision

Your input is needed on a review considering how eye glasses/spectacles are prescribed and delivered in community and primary care settings

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on how spectacles are being prescribed and dispensed in community and primary care settings around the world, and how these programmes are being evaluated?

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review Community and primary care refractive and optical service delivery models.

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, vision problems requiring glasses/spectacles), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those with issues affecting their vision, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making. 

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers.

Thank you in advance for considering!
