A total of 6 communities volunteers (2 per communities) were trained to provide a continuum of care and early detection in the communities. This is to achieve sustainable impact and create greater accessibility to proper eye care in the communities.
#Shell4Sight #Shellcares
23% were visually impaired and 15.1% cases of blindness in at least one eye was recorded.
Over 50 eye surgeries have been done this year despite the challenges and lockdown due to #COVID19.

A total of 911 persons with mild to complex visual conditions were screened in the communities for Refractive Errors and Glaucoma, IOP, Pachymetry, Diabetic Retinopathy and more.

@BayelsaStateGov, @RiversstateGov, communities,
@eyeprosight and @Shell_Nigeria (SPDC JV- sponsors) piloted an eye care intervention tagged- “Vision First Initiative".
#Shell4Sight #Shellcares #HopeInSight
With significant investment in health, the SPDC JV is strengthening its support for equitable eye care services (embedded in SDG3 - Global Goal on Health) as a key theme and deliverable to its communities.
#ShellCares #Shell4Sight #CommunityHealthMatters
The incidence of visual impairments has been noted from observations seen over a timeline during @Shell_Nigeria flagship health outreach activities (Health-in-Motion) in key communities across the nation.
#ShellCares #Shell4Sight #CommunityHealthMatters
More than 75% of these visual impairments are avoidable or treatable; about 1/3 are blind due to ignorance, harmful traditional practices, lack of access to health services and inadequate attention at the primary health care level.
#Shell4Sight #HopeInSight
A Nigeria National Blindness and Visual Impairment survey 2005-2007 estimated that 1.13 million individuals aged 40 years and above are currently blind while 4.25 million are visually impaired.

About a billion people struggle daily with visual impairments that could have been prevented while many more are living with eye conditions that increase their risk of visual loss.
#Shell4Sight #ShellCares #CommunityHealthMatters
The eye is a valuable sense organ. It plays a critical role in everyday life, allowing the ability to see & interpret physical images. 80% of our perception comes through the sense of sight.
