WHO Unveils Vision and Eye Screening Implementation Handbook

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.
