Eye screening & accessible care
Community-based screening and eye-care services can help identify needs earlier and make care more reachable.

How outreach can translate into action
Screen. Support. Refer. Educate.
The Krisan outreach demonstrates this model in practice: 193 refugees were screened, medications and readers were dispensed, and appropriate referrals were made to Saint Martin De Porres Hospital.
- Community screening can surface vision needs.
- Basic aids and medication may be provided when appropriate and available.
- Referral pathways help connect people with further care.
- Partnership can extend support beyond the screening itself.
