Low Vision Care in Africa: Practical Approaches to Clinical Services, Educational Engagement and Planning
This manual has been developed with the providers and planners in mind; it is an attempt to provide those individuals at hospitals, training schools, and other settings with the knowledge and understanding of implementing low vision within an overall VISION 2020 programme. While the focus is primarily on children, this manual can also assist programmes to manage the low vision needs of adults. In this manual we are not trying to create an advocacy tool but some of the messages in the planning session can be adapted for this purpose.
The IAPB School Eye Health Workgroup has released these guidelines to help deliver standardised comprehensive eye health services to more than 700 million children attending schools around the world.
The WHO Vision and eye screening implementation handbook (VESIH) offers a step-by-step guidance for conducting vision and eye screenings in community and primary care settings.
This guidance aims to facilitate the monitoring of both eye and ear care services through presenting a set of core facility indicators along with considerations for analysis and use of routine health information
