Development of consensus  guidelines for population-based eye and vision surveys)

10/3/2017

2 Comments

 
In February 2016, the Vision Loss Expert Group convened a workshop of experienced ophthalmic epidemiologists at the World Ophthalmology Congress in Mexico. We agreed on the value of the generic “Strengthening The Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology” checklist. However, we also identified unresolved challenges. These included issues around the standardisation of vision impairment and eye disease definitions, study design and measurement protocols, analysis approaches, and how best to ascertain and report the risk of bias. We determined a need for consensus guidelines on the conduct and reporting of population-based eye and vision surveys.

An inclusive working group has been formed to move this forwards.  Our aim is twofold:
  • To promote high quality eye and vision surveys in the future through sharing best practice insights.
  • To develop a framework against which to grade future studies included in meta-analyses including, but not limited to, those undertaken for the Global Burden of Disease Study.

Over 50 colleagues with direct experience in the design, conduct and analysis of eye and vision surveys are involved in this. If you would like to contribute your expertise to this working group, please get in touch!

I am now a PhD in Vision Science graduate student at Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon. My primary interests are in global eyecare and ophthalmic epidemiology. How can I become (re)involved?
