Overview
The Eye Care Group was established in line with the Vision 2020 to support national efforts to achieve the goal of eliminating avoidable blindness in Vietnam. After several informal meetings among some eye care-related NGOs, the idea of having af working group was raised.
Many eye care-related NGOs have already played a significant role in developing eye care services in Vietnam, and some of them have established permanent offices in Vietnam.
The Eye Care Group is open for members of all eye care-related NGOs operating in Vietnam. The founding members were ORBIS, Fred Hollows Foundation, Helen Keller International, CBM, International Trachoma Initiative and Mekong Eye Doctors. Atlantic Philantropies has also joined the group.
The term eye care relates to all aspects of activities related to vision care, promotion of eye health, prevention of eye diseases, treatment and rehabilitation, including education of the visually impaired.
