developing countries have the tools to plan<br />
and implement services in the manner and in<br />
the areas they are most likely to be effective.<br />
RARE provides a simple and effective method<br />
to accurately assess visual acuity and collect<br />
data on prevalence of refractive error without<br />
reliance on a high level of technical expertise<br />
or sophisticated equipment. This means that<br />
RARE is possible even in the most remote and<br />
under-resourced regions. The data collection<br />
process can be completed in 8 to 10 weeks<br />
even in heavily populated areas, and costs less<br />
than USD 2500 for a population block. This<br />
also means that it can be repeated with equal<br />
ease, thus providing a measure of the impact of interventions over time. The global eye care community<br />
has responded positively to RARE, and the ICARE team has already conducted one workshop in<br />
Nepal, where the Tilganga <strong>Eye</strong> Hospital wishes to apply it as a planning tool in their refractive error<br />
program.<br />
