Handbook on vision screening and end-to-end provision of eyeglasses

Category: Handbook Publication Year: 2024

ATscale collaborated with WHO to develop a handbook offering technical guidance for the development and implementation of early-vision screening and comprehensive eye care, with a focus on correcting refractive errors with eyeglasses. 

 

This handbook addresses screening targets, screening sites, evidence-based screening tests, innovative devices, referral criteria, human resource requirements and various service-delivery models for integrating screening with eyeglass provision for school-age children, non-school-going children, and older adults.

 

Furthermore, a technical guidance document was created to assist countries in providing high-quality eye screening, referral and eyeglass provision.
