 | A new eye center in Xiangyun County, Yunnan Province |
| We are working to establish a new eye center in Xiangyun County, which will provide eye care services in the areas of cataract, trauma, optometry, and pediatric ophthalmology—many of these for the first time in Yunnan Province.
Once the eye care center is established, it will provide treatment for at least 30,000 patients over the next three years, with at least 2,400 eye surgeries performed. By the end of ORBIS's three-year involvement, a rural primary eye care network and referral system will be integrated into the existing public health system in 13 townships. 200 community health workers will be trained, 60,000 residents will be screened for vision defects, and at least one million local residents will have received education in primary eye care.
In order for the center to be able to sustain itself economically over the long-term, a multi-tier pricing system will be established, based on local income levels. This will ensure that the center will be able to provide services to area residents long after ORBIS's involvement has been completed.
