Awareness manual for school teachers on children's eye care is now available

From the past six years Antardrishti is working towards prevention of blindness and empowerment of  visually impaired. Majority of the blindness occurs during infancy  and childhood days due to neglect, lack of awareness and accidents.  It is reassuring that a large number of such cases of blindness can  be mitigated through timely detection and treatment.

Our  survey also led us to the fact that school teachers can play a  significant role in prevention of blindness amongst children. We  followed up our study by informal interactions, workshops and brain  storming sessions with educationist, doctors, school teachers and  social workers and felt that there is an urgent need of preparing a  manual for teachers, which enables them in a simplistic yet holistic  manner to address this issue.

The  much awaited awareness  manual for school teachers on children's eye care is now available in  Hindi language and very soon we will be bringing out the English  Manual as well. In this manual, we  have incorporated the views and suggestion of teachers,  ophthalmologist and instructors. We hope that this manual would serve the purpose of a useful training aid towards prevention of  blindness amongst children.

If  you, or anyone known to you, work with school (junior section) as a  teacher/ principal/ manager or in any capacity and is willing to use  this manual, please fill  the form to obtain a copy of the manual.
