Departmental update
Reading time:

The WHO Vision and eye care programme has recently announced the publication of the Vision and eye screening implementation handbook (VESIH).

The VESIH offers a step-by-step guidance for conducting vision and eye screenings in community and primary care settings. These evidence-based interventions are drawn from the WHO Package of eye care interventions and have been developed with a focus on delivering screenings easily, safely, and effectively in low- and low–intermediate-resource settings.

The guidance covers vision and eye screening in newborns, pre-school children, school children, and older adults.
