Abstract
Introduction: Early detection of vision problems in paediatrics is essential, but barriers limit effective screening, including accessibility issues and challenges with conventional methods. This systematic review protocol outlines the approach to identifying and evaluating barriers to paediatric vision screening. The protocol follows PRISMA-P guidelines. Methods: Articles will be retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed using the PICo framework. Eligible studies include quantitative, qualitative and observational research (2010–2024) focusing on barriers and limitation to vision screening conducted by trained personnel (optometrists, nurses, or school teachers). The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) will assess study quality, and thematic analysis will synthesize qualitative data. Quantitative findings will be descriptively summarised and mapped into qualitative themes. Discussion: This protocol provides a structured methodology for identifying key challenges in paediatric vision screening. The findings of this review are expected to inform stakeholders such as public health policymakers and school health programs by guiding the future adoption of improved screening tools and early detection strategies. Trial Registration: CRD42024625325
