Comparative Cost-Effectiveness of Fixed and Mobile Primary Eye Health Services

Mobile approaches are substantially more cost-effective at case finding, due to the increased utilization of resources made possible by a mobile operating model. When considering both case finding and downstream treatment costs, community and health outpost screening dominate other strategies. The results point to the need for careful analysis of costs and outcomes along the entire continuum-of-care to appropriately inform planners of primary eye health networks in low-and-middle-income countries.
