Willingness to pay for a second pair of near-vision glasses: a cross-sectional study in a rural North Indian population
Having experience with the first pair of near-vision glasses can increase desirability of procuring subsequent pairs. Offering the second pair at a reduced price can increase the uptake substantially in this setting, suggesting that active outreach to correct near vision in tandem with accessible and affordable marketplaces for reading glasses could provide a viable solution to scale near vision correction.
