More than 30% of the prosthetic eye wearers had problematic or even inadequate general HL, suggesting a significant health care gap. To identify patients with reduced HL, a standardized screening tool should be implemented as part of routine clinical care. Within integrated care, patients with insufficient HL should be offered barrier-free advisory services and information brochures in various languages.
