RE: A Cascade of Education.

It's definitely a factor, as children in low-income families also have restricted access to health prevention and remedies like glasses, plus stigmatization. For an optometrist (glad your eyes are fine!), the root of all evil may lie in the eyes (which do have a lot of impact on our lives, more than many people think), but the deeper cause is probably still poverty.
We had our eyes tested at our school. Here in Ecuador, the eye test was mandatory before going to school. So it seems to have made some waves.

Yes, absolutely, the root cause is still poverty!
On eye tests before school - That is a very interesting thing to do - should be the same for driving licences :D
Yes, that would be a great addition! :-P
How people are driving here is a totally different question. There, too, one notices the lack if education. And consideration. There's so much going wrong, and starting with education seems to be the best beginning for solving everything. Even dark matter.
