Global Worst Practices in Eye Care
Why does VisionBanker exist? One of the primary reasons is to help the community be aware of existing problems and develop ways to address them. We are willing to partner with government, organizations, and institutions to make eye care safe and accessible for everyone.
As with all wellbeing programs, eye care programs should entail best-practice standards in public health. The “worst practice” standards that are regularly utilized by a few organizations involved with eye care can do critical harm.
Optometric “Medical Missions”
Getting eye care in the form of presbyopic or refractive correction is counterproductive. It can also avoid patients from looking for eye care for other ophthalmic conditions. Numerous NGOs give “optometric medical missions” in which they only prescribe eyeglasses. A genuine misinterpretation behind these sorts of missions is the thought that providing minimal care is way better than giving none at all. In any case, “optometric medical missions” can be inefficient and hurtful, and they regularly serve as medical tourism or “volunteer vacations.” These short-term interventions periodically come up short to partner with neighbourhood eye specialists, thereby undermining the neighbourhood healthcare framework. Patients who get eye care from medical missions will leave accepting they have gained a complete ophthalmic exam, no matter how careless the vision screening.
Eyeglass Distribution by Non-Eye Care Professionals
Permitting medical and non-medical providers to practice past their capacities is one of the most noticeably awful practices in global health.
Training Community Leaders to Prescribe Reading Glasses
In an attempt to address problems in eye care, local community individuals are, in some cases, trained to prescribe reading glasses. In any case, research shows that those trained exclusively to endorse reading glasses may be seen by those in towns to be licensed eye care experts.
