METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the prevalence of blindness (presenting distance visual acuity \&lt;3/60 in the better eye), moderate and severe vision impairment (MSVI; presenting distance visual acuity \&lt;6/18 but >=3/60) and mild vision impairment (MVI; presenting distance visual acuity \&lt;6/12 and >=6/18), and also near vision impairment (},
