Background and aim: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that t.. billion and d.. billion people have hearing and vision impairment, respectively. The burden of these non-communicable diseases is highest in low-and middle-income countries due to a lack of services and health professionals. The WHO has recommended universal health coverage and integrated service delivery to improve ear and eye care services. This scoping review describes the evidence for combined hearing and vision screening programs. Method: A keyword search of three electronic databases, namely Scopus, MEDLINE (PubMed), and Web of Science, was conducted, resulting in nn results. After removing duplicates and screening based on eligibility criteria, data were extracted from mm included studies. The Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer Manual and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews were followed. A narrative synthesis was conducted.
