This Maasai-language brochure educates communities about trachomatous trichiasis—a condition where eyelashes turn inward and damage the eye. It explains the causes, effects, treatment options, and encourages early surgical intervention to prevent blindness.
This Swahili brochure explains ugonjwa wa vikope (inward-turning eyelashes), its causes, symptoms, treatment through minor surgery, and the importance of early intervention to prevent blindness.
This collection presents research on the surgical management of trachomatous trichiasis, exploring outcomes, interventions, barriers to uptake, and methods to optimize prevalence estimates to support WHO’s SAFE strategy for trachoma elimination.
This report outlines a five-day clinical low vision training for optometrists in northern Tanzania, part of a pilot project led by KCCO to integrate low vision services into regional eye care and education systems. Focused on children, the training covered refraction, basic magnification, non-optical interventions, and coordination with schools. The project aims to ensure children with low vision receive the necessary support to use their vision effectively in mainstream education and sets the foundation for broader regional implementation.
This bibliography compiles research from 1995 to 2018 related to eye care in Tanzania, highlighting topics such as blindness prevalence, cataract services, trachoma elimination efforts, child eye health, and integration of primary eye care within the broader health system.
