Vision Screening in Underserved and Vulnerable Populations in Kenya, Africa.

Abstract

Eye and vision disorders are seen as serious health concerns in HIV-positive children. The vision screening project was developed, planned, and implemented as a first-step pilot project to address a dire need for vision care in the high risk HIV-positive child. This field report describes the Eye Camp where 1,349 people were screened as a collaborative endeavor with a non-profit program for HIV/AIDS infected children located in Kenya.
