Having done vision screenings of thousands of school children, I can say that nearly 40% of students suffer from some form of departure from the normal. The next logical step should be for the parents to take their children to an eye care practitioner as per advice for refraction, and eyewear/eye exercises or ophthalmic medical treatment if needed. However, there's hardly any follow-up!
The solution lies in not just doing vision screenings but also provide comprehensive eye care to these poor students at discounted rates.
And should there be someone who cares for eye care of the poor, then please contact the charitable trust Eye Care India at kumars@vsnl.com
