BMC Public Health • 2022

Open source

Quick takeaway

Using LASI, this study linked visual impairment with falls and injuries across India. It makes vision screening feel like one of the clearest national-scale preventive targets in the report.

Why this matters

High-ranked because it is nationally representative and points to a modifiable, operationally simple prevention lever.

Key caution

Falls were self-reported and the design is observational, so causality should be interpreted cautiously.
