Prevalence of self-reported severe vision impairment and its association with sociodemographic characteristics and chronic diseases in Mexico: A nationwide cross-sectional study
These results highlight subgroups with a higher prevalence of severe vision impairment. Policymakers in Mexico and countries with Mexican populations should prioritize effective eye health for marginalized and disadvantaged groups. Implementing the United Nations General Assembly resolution to include eye care in universal health coverage can reach those most affected.
