To see clearly, many workers just need a pair of eyeglasses. Access to basic eye care services needs to be included in national strategic health plans and development policies, health financing structures, and health workforce planning. #SafeDay @ilo ๐Ÿ“ธ: Myint Zaw

DID YOU KNOW: 80% of children's learning is through the use of their eyes. Healthy vision is critical for every childโ€™s social development, school success, and well-being.

What a wonderful series of exchanges with an open discussion of a variety of access issues and potential solutions moving well beyond just making more services available or offering insurance coverage. Systems thinking about eye care and health care is critical.

โ€œIf we are to meet the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals on #GenderEquality then we must acknowledge that a lack of access to eye care has a disproportionate impact on women and girls.โ€ - H.E. @UN Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason #2030Insight @IAPB1

Q: What is the difference between a vision screening & an #EyeExam? A: A vision screening can only reveal a possible vision problem not diagnose it. During a comprehensive dilated eye exam an optometrist or ophthalmologist can properly diagnose vision problems #ChildrensEyeHealth
