The WHO Vision and Eye Care Programme has the pleasure to announce the publication of the Vision and eye screening implementation handbook (VESIH). 

The VESIH offers step-by-step guidance for conducting vision and eye screenings in community and primary care settings. These evidence-based interventions are drawn from the WHO Package of eyecare interventions and have been developed with a focus on delivering screenings easily, safely, and effectively in low- and low–intermediate-resource settings.  

The guidance covers vision and eye screening in newborns, pre-school children, school children, and older adults. For further information, please visit the Vision and eye screening implementation handbook webpage.
