Course programme

The primary purposes of the workshop (which will parallel closely the expanding workshop programme currently underway in about thirty countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America) will be to familiarise participants with:

  • the aims, objectives and strategies of the VISION 2020: the Right to Sight programme.
  • the principles of planning involved in implementing district and national level eye care programmes
  • how Peek Solutions can be used in eye care programmes

The course programme will look at survey methodologies and strategies for control of the major blinding diseases. Time will be allocated to group work to plan eye care programmes for specific target populations.
