TLYCS moves relatively little money compared to GiveWell, and cataract surgery rarely comes up on the Forum. That’s where my point came from. (Note that my explanation is meant to be a guess at why AECS hasn’t gotten much attention, not an argument that it shouldn’t get much attention.)
My rough summary of GiveWell’s cataract research (as of 2018): it seems cost-competitive with other work, but there’s a lot of uncertainty around cost-effectiveness estimates and they’ve struggled to find orgs that meet their standards for monitoring and evaluation.

Do you think maybe headings or infographics would be more appropriate?
I don’t think infographics are necessary, or even headings in a short post like this. I just think removing most or all of the bold text would help. (There are other things I’d edit to make some sentences more clear, but I don’t have time to talk about them — as I recommend below, reading your post out loud might help you see what is or isn’t clear.)
Bold text tells us to stop and really focus on something, but if that happens three times in a given sentence, it breaks up how people typically read. It might help to read your post aloud, but raise your voice for all the bold text and see if the result feels natural.

Oh, that is interesting. I see that TLYCS moves a few million $/​year, GW more than a hundred million.
Yes. It is interesting that TLYCS specifies a 10× greater cost-effectiveness than GW estimates in its updated report.
OK, thank you for the tip!
