This is the first ever such integration anywhere of these services with permanent infrastructure providing ongoing care by trained professionals. The service centres for secondary care at Mudhol in Adilabad district and at Toodukurthy in Mahboobnagar district (each serving a population of 500,000) now have a full complement of ten Vision Centres each – one for 50,000 population. All of them have a permanent infrastructure and well trained staff recruited from within the local communities and work according to the principles of practicing high quality, sustainable and equitable eye care. We have now initiated our work to anchor even deeper into the communities with “Vision Guardians” for every 5000 people. One Vision Centre for each service centre was funded initially by Sight Savers International, UK; the rest of the network was supported in full by the Lavelle Fund for the Blind, Inc., of New York, USA.
