The high burden, particularly in rural areas, older adults, and women, underscores the need for strengthened primary eye care, expanded cataract surgical services, and targeted interventions to reduce avoidable vision loss in Ghana. Strengthening primary eye care and targeted outreach are essential for reducing avoidable vision loss.
