New edition of the Standard List published
The Standard List for a VISION 2020 Eye Care Service Unit 2008/09 aims to assist programme managers and medical personnel to set up and manage eye care services. It suggests the equipment, instruments, and supplies required for a primary and secondary level (district) eye care unit serving a population of 500,000 - 1,000,000.
The Standard List is free to download and can also be ordered from Teaching Aids at Low Cost (TALC).
The International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH) carries out research and education activities to improve eye health and eliminate avoidable blindness, with a focus on low income populations.
Research
At ICEH we conduct research into prevention and
treatment of the major causes of blindness and work with other organizations
involved in the prevention of blindness.
Education
Education in community eye health - both in
and outside the UK - is a major role of ICEH.
As part of its educational work ICEH develops and disseminates practical, up-to-date resources for teaching and learning community eye health.
