The Lions Outback Vision Van was launched in March 2016 and is a mobile eye clinic providing ophthalmology care to regional and remote Western Australia. For the first time, we have been able to bring essential equipment to regional and remote towns to improve the delivery of our ophthalmology service (Figs 1,2). Equipment available on the Vision Van include 3D OCT-1 Maestro Optical Coherence T...
