Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness

Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) assesses the prevalence and causes of vision impairment and blindness among people aged 50+ and reports priority eye care service indicators. It provides locally-relevant data and is used by both governments and non-governmental eye health service providers at national and sub-national levels. Delivered digitally on the Peek platform, RAAB7 is the latest version of the survey.

How it works

Peek developed RAAB7 with the International Centre for Eye Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. It enables faster, more accurate data collection and analysis than ever before.
