Reducing visual impairment due to uncorrected refractive error as a barrier to education for school-going children in Province 2 of Nepal

By the end of this project, by conducting school screening camps and systematic follow-up, we intend to have reduced visual impairment (particularly due to uncorrected refractive error) as a barrier to education for over 308,000 school-going children aged between 6-18 years in Siraha District and Parsa District in Nepal. Teachers, schoolchildren, parents and Community Health Volunteers will have increased knowledge of eye health. Hospital eye care teams will have increased knowledge and the capacity to sustain the methodology once the project ends.
