Global Vision 2020

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.

Come visit our booth at the @GlobalMissions Health Conference in Louisville! Hannah is ready show you how it works. #dialsnapwear #usee #gv2020

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 buff.ly/3NBQIb4

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.

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

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.

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

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
