Assessing the 3 pillars of housing for eye and vision health outcomes: A scoping review
In this scoping review, we examine the implications of 3 pillars (housing conditions and quality, residential consistency, and housing affordability) of healthy housing on vision health outcomes. We examine barriers based on geographical locations of the studies and World Health Organization income levels. We identified 11,190 abstracts, with 10,996 articles retrieved. Sixty-three met inclusion criteria. Among these, housing conditions emerged as the most frequently observed housing pillar associated with adverse vision health outcomes, cited in 62.1 % of the studies. Environmental pollution, particularly indoor air quality and exposure to harmful substances, was the most common condition associated with poor vision outcomes.
