Helping Communities Access Essential Eye Care
Good vision is essential for learning, working and living independently. Yet many people in rural and underserved communities do not receive timely eye care because of limited awareness, distance and other barriers.
Through the Eye Care Project, BVHA works to bring eye health services closer to communities and support people who need screening, treatment or referral for further care.
