A randomized controlled study individuals with VI with baseline visual acuity (VA) and vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) assessed in the community. Participants were randomised to either receiving ICS or usual care (UC). ICS is a novel intervention that incorporates patient education, social support, and financial assistance to assist individuals. Participants in UC received a standard GP referral letter advising them to seek further care. Our main outcome measure was compliance to tertiary eye-care referral. Our secondary outcome measure was VA and VRQoL assessed at 3 months.
