Integrated Cataract Screening and Surgery Modellll

Intro:
Late presentation of cataract cases is a common challenge due to lack of awareness and affordability.

Description:
This program integrated cataract screening into existing community health activities. Local health workers were trained to identify symptoms and refer patients to scheduled surgical outreach days. Subsidized surgeries and follow-up visits were ensured through hospital coordination.

Impact:
Early detection increased surgical uptake, reduced advanced cataract cases, and improved surgical outcomes. The model proved scalable and sustainable, strengthening long-term community eye health systems.
