The study has been developed to gather important data to understand why people in the UK are losing their vision and hearing due to preventable causes and why people are still living with correctable visual impairment and hearing loss.

As part of the study we will deliver immediate benefit to at least 1,500 individuals with previously undetected vision and hearing problems, ensuring they receive the interventions needed to treat or manage their condition.

It will also offer improved outcomes for people over the long term, by gathering data on prevalence to establish a greater understanding on the causes and incidence of eye disease and hearing loss.
