In most countries, there are concerns about health care utilization and costs. Therefore, those arguing for more funds to be devoted to eye health care need economic data in support of their claims. This article examines the methods for estimating the economic effect of blindness and discusses the approaches to economic evaluation of health care interventions in the field of cataract. Some suggestions are also given for undertaking economic analysis alongside clinical trials in the field of ophthalmology.
