The Basic Eye Screening Test (BEST) for primary level eye screening by grassroot level workers in India

Developing better strategies for school eye health screening in India

Comparing selected and all-class teachers Two studies which compared the training and use of a few selected teachers (STs) and use of ‘all class teachers’ (ACTs) or ‘more class teachers’ (MCTs) found that school screening with more teachers (i.e. fewer children screened per teacher) identified more ocular conditions requiring intervention, including refractive error. In both instances, improved...

Primary level management of eye injury/trauma

Practical research: a basic outline for mid-level eye personnel.

Choosing the title Research projects need a descriptive title, which should be as clear as possible. When other eye care practitioners or researchers look at what research has been done, the project title helps them decide whether they want to read about it. Consider your title a ‘work in progress’ until the project is finished: you may find that you need to change the title as your thinking ev...

Keratoconus Screening in Primary Eye Care – A General Overview

K eratoconus early detection (screening) and diagnosis requires an in-deep corneal analysis with different techniques; slip lamp assessment, corneal topography and corneal tomography are the most commonly accepted to detect clinical signs and assess anterior and posterior corneal surface and global corneal pachymetry. However, keratoconus early detection and definitive diagnosis are two differe...

Application of eye tracking technology for screening and rehabilitation of children with special needs.

Eye tracking is a technology for measuring eye movements when looking at a point. The length of time to look at a particular situation, the sequence of observations, as well as points of attention are processed in the process of eye tracking and eye movements are identified by topics such as fixation, saccade, etc. Information about how the eyes move at a special moment has many potential appli...
