Summary
The purpose of this study is:
1. To determine whether an educational intervention designed based on studies in the area is effective in increasing acceptance of surgery and presentation to the hospital, when adjusting for a number of potential determinants of service uptake;
2. To assess short-term impact of the educational intervention on knowledge about cataract and attitudes toward locally-available surgical services.
