COMMUNITY EYE HEALTH Reaching out…beyond an arm’s length LV Prasad Eye Institute’s work rests on a broad base of community engagement, and even as we occupy a space in the global eye care arena, we retain a firm foothold on the grassroots. The base of the pyramid, where some see a “fortune”, is where we see the greatest need, and therefore the greatest need for outreach. The community health arm of the Institute, the International Centre for Advancement of Rural Eye care (ICARE) had a busy year in training, health promotion and education, capacity building and consultancy, apart from laying the foundations for a follow up to the landmark Andhra Pradesh Eye Diseases Study (APEDS), done a decade ago. APEDS 2 will be the first study to provide a systematic understanding of how interventions over time have helped tackle visual impairment, and give us a measure of the effectiveness of the pyramid model of service delivery. The sophistication with which we address questions of basic research and the broad evidence base with which we address clinical problems are matched by the rigor and detailed planning with which we approach community eye health. This year the ICARE team scoured villages and urban slums in search of those with eye problems, worked with schoolchildren to bring greater awareness of preventable and manageable eye conditions, networked with rural development agencies to build partnerships for greater impact, trained potential community eye health leaders and managers, worked with existing hospitals and health organizations to revitalize their eye care services, and continued the project of creating permanent eye care infrastructure at the primary and secondary levels. The scope of ICARE’s work is global, but its strength is the team’s ability to get a strong sense of the local in every engagement, as the stories in this year’s review show.
