eye screening initiatives

Eye screening initiatives are programs designed to identify vision problems early, often before symptoms appear, to prevent vision loss and improve quality of life. They typically involve painless tests that assess eyesight, detect common issues like refractive errors or eye diseases, and determine if a person needs glasses or further examination. These initiatives target various populations, such as children, adults, or at-risk groups, and are conducted in clinics, schools, or community settings. Early detection through eye screening enables timely treatment, helping individuals maintain clear vision and overall eye health.
