Description
Anju Vaidya and colleagues ran a rapid realist review in 2026 on support for older people living with failing sight. Vision loss in later life harms body and mind, yet help exists in patches and many older people struggle to find or use it.
Realist reviews ask how programs work, for whom, and under what conditions, rather than only whether they work on average. The team searched six databases and screened papers by set rules, following the RAMESES standards for this kind of review. Their goal was to map what makes eye-care support reachable and useful, so services can be shaped around the settings where older people actually live.
