Stakeholders and means of implementation

---

Providing care for vision disorders requires the cooperation and involvement of many people: patients, their families or primary guardians, community workers, teachers, ophthalmologists, other professionals working with children with disabilities, as well as local and regional officials responsible for eye care, education and support services for people with special needs.

Access to eye care by appointment

• Access to quality eye exams and inexpensive glasses 

• Provision of pedagogical support in schools

• Regular follow-up (annual) by eye health services.

Add an answer to this item.Explain to the target populations which patients could benefit from support services and to whom to refer them. Local authorities remain privileged stakeholders. To do so, you will specifically need:

• Expand the objectives of rapid assessments to improve the identification of people with visual impairment.

• Provide local teachers with the checklist, so they can refer children who appear to have vision problems.

• Support the region's aid services and strengthen media support in order to guide patients.

• Ask key informants to identify people with vision problems or considered to be at risk.
