Clinical low vision training of optometrists
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.
