Generating the evidence that shapes practice and policy.
Research & Evidence
We do not just deliver care. We study it, share it, and use it to change what ROP services look like across the region.
The Evidence Gap
Most published ROP data comes from high-income countries.
ROP research from low- and middle-income countries is scarce. Yet the epidemiology, risk factors, and service delivery challenges in places like Kenya and Uganda are fundamentally different from those in the US or UK.
Without local evidence, services get designed around the wrong assumptions. Without published data, governments and funders do not understand the scale of the problem. And without that understanding, children keep losing their sight.
EyeSHA is committed to changing this producing rigorous, locally-grounded research that fills the gap.

Are you a hospital, government, or funder?
-
If you are based in a country where ROP screening does not yet exist — or where it exists but needs to be scaled we want to hear from you.
-
We work with hospitals, Ministries of Health, and funding partners who share our commitment to sustainable, locally-led Programmes.
