Los niños y adolescentes también fueron protagonistas de la jornada de salud que realizamos el pasado sábado en la Comunidad -pueblo warao- de El Volcán, ubicada en los márgenes del majestuoso Caño Manamo en Delta Amacuro. Niños y jóvenes recibieron lentes para mejorar su visión de lejos, no ver bien puede afectar el desempeño escolar además de producir dolores de cabeza y mareos. Con nuestro dispositivo podemos hacer triaje y de inmediato confeccionar el lente que mejor se adapta a sus necesidades. Este proyecto llamado #PorLaGente es una alianza con @ackapekape @HelpAge y @HelpAgeDE y que ha sido informada y articulada con autoridades locales e indígenas.

The Easton Economic Development Corporation recently interviewed Kevin White, Global Vision 2020's Executive Director. It was a privilege to share our history and explain the revolutionary USee Vision Kit. #dialsnapwear #usee https://t.co/HJePNRFkFm

1.3 million needless deaths per year. A shocking and disheartening number. But how much of this could be prevented by screening for, and correcting, poor vision? Hopefully we will be able to test this hypothesis soon. If you can’t see the car until it’s too late, it’s too late…

A5: The good news is that awareness that poor vision is a major issue is rising. Groups that benefit from a common solution is a road we should travel. Better vision helps students, drivers, workers, the elderly, etc.. Gov. collaboration with MoH, MoE, MoT, Industry, is critical.

Q5: What can we expect for eye health after COVID-19?

#DevexFocus on #WorldSightDay · @SeeChange4all @Devex

[Global Vision 2020 @GV2020_org]

A4: Long term sustainability is key to the success of solving this issue. Let’s determine where costs can be cut, quality maintained, and services still offered in areas where Optoms, MDs and PhDs do not want to live long term - like remote BoP areas. #WorldSightDay

[Devex @devex]

Q4: With funding challenges in today’s new normal, what key issues do we need to prioritize on our journey to bring good vision to everyone, everywhere?

#DevexFocus on #WorldSightDay · @SeeChange4all @Devex

[Global Vision 2020 @GV2020_org]

A3: Creation of the infrastructure capable of delivering that care is the main issues. We need to look at, and embrace, task shifting like the majority of other healthcare areas have done. We also need to better communicate the benefits of eye health intervention and eyeglasses.

[Devex @devex]

Q3: A recent report found that women and people with disabilities have less access to critical eye care. How can we help improve access for these groups?

#DevexFocus on #WorldSightDay · @SeeChange4all @Devex

[Global Vision 2020 @GV2020_org]

A2: Self-refraction (using the patients natural ability to determine their best visual acuity) is becoming more accepted and understood. It’s use in solving refractive error for the BoP will be critical to addressing the need in a timely manner. #WorldSightDay

[Devex @devex]

Q2: Eye health telemedicine has gained speed during the pandemic. What other innovative trends or changes should we expect in eye health as a result of COVID-19?

#DevexFocus on #WorldSightDay · @SeeChange4all
@Devex

[Global Vision 2020 @GV2020_org]

The biggest issue for us was the interruption in stock of eyeglasses. That has been resolved, and operations are ramping up again. Updating training to include precautionary measures to help limit the spread of the virus are also critical in future endeavors. #WorldSightDay

[Devex @devex]

Q1: COVID-19 has greatly impacted vision work, particularly among the most marginalized communities. How are eye health practitioners working to overcome these challenges?
