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.

โIf 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
