ACU training saving eyesight in Nepal
An ACU-sponsored ophthalmology training event in rural Nepal has helped primary health care professionals save the eyesight of people across the country.
Part of an ongoing partnership between ACU, Open Eyes Nepal (OEN) and the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (TIO) in Kathmandu, the event trained 50 health professionals on early detection of retinoblastoma.
Retinoblastoma is the most common primary eye cancer among children, with roughly 50 new cases detected in Nepal every year.
The trainees were primary health care workers, student nurses and optometry students. They were taught how to use the Arclight, a portable, low-cost diagnostic device used to identify a range of eye diseases.
