School Eye Screening
The L V Prasad Eye Institute undertakes School Eye Screening Programme in the catchment population of all its partner secondary level eye facilities and vision centres. School Eye Screening is meant for generating awareness regarding eye health among the children, parents and the schoolteachers.
The LVPEI strategy of School Eye Screening is to utilize teachers to identify children with poor vision and eye ailments. The teachers facilitate early detection of vision defects and refer them for eye examination to qualified ophthalmic personnel, or inform their parents. They also ensure that children who are provided spectacles, use them regularly while reading, writing or working.
It is recommended that the teachers do the eye screening once a year, and inform the respective vision centres / secondary level eye facility to provide appropriate services. Free services in the form of treatment and surgery are provided to those who are underprivileged and cannot afford payment.
