School Eye Health Program
The prevalence of refractive errors, particularly myopia, is increasing in school-age children, especially in urban population. In order to reduction of blindness in children, different control measures are needed. In low-income countries like Nepal, high proportions of children are blind from preventable causes, which require community-based interventions. Eye Health Program-Rapti&Bahadurgunj has been conducting school eye health education and screening program annually.
