Abstract
This research showed that cataract surgery is associated with meaningful improvements in quality of life and household economic circumstances that are indicative of positive transitions out of poverty. Given the unmet need for cataract surgery in low- and middle-income countries where cataract impairment is substantial, this research demonstrates the potential of a relatively simple, low-cost health intervention to greatly improve household economic circumstances.
