Our research is wide in scope<\/h2>\nIt includes\u00a0basic science,\u00a0observational studies, clinical trials, health economics and\u00a0health systems research. Studies are local or multi-country and\u00a0global in scope. Studies involve all age groups, include\u00a0infectious and non-communicable eye diseases and entail\u00a0primary research as well as systematic reviews by the\u00a0Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group, which is based at ICEH. To share our research findings widely, we hold dissemination workshops and write user-friendly reports for donors and other audiences. We also publish in peer-reviewed journals and present at scientific meetings.\n
