Spectacles compensate for refractive errors, such as myopia (near-sightedness) and presbyopia (age related far-sightedness), hypermetropia and astigmatism. According to WHO’s 2019 World Vision Report, two of the most common refractive errors – myopia and presbyopia – affected 2.6 billion and 1.8 billion people respectively [37]. However, more than 64 per cent of the global population do not have access to appropriate spectacles, with 90 per cent of them living in LMICs [38], [39]. In addition, there exists gender inequality in access, with the effective coverage of refractive error services (eREC) being 10.4 per cent higher in men than in women [40]. It is recognized that this limited accessibility of spectacles in these regions is often due to the lack of public awareness, the high cost of corrective eyewear and a lack of optometric services [41].
