  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We performed eye screening in a village with no resident ophthalmologist and poor accessibility to eye clinics. Examinations were made on persons visiting the day service center. Out of a total of 175 persons examined over a 5-year period, eye diseases were detected in 80%, of whom 30% were advised to consult ophthalmic institutions. Only 38% followed this advice. Visual acuity was estimated without re-fractometry in this examinations. In advised persons, the rate of visual acuity of 0.1 or less was large. The findings show the value of eye screening in those attending the day service center, although many individuals did not wish further detailed follow-up examinations. There is a keen need to open an eye clinic in this village or to improve the accessibility to ophthalmic clinics near by.
