✤ Total number of visually impaired people: 13 million (2011 estimate)

✤ National blindness prevalence: 0.5% (2006 estimate)

✤ Leading causes of blindness: cataract, diabetic retinopathy, corneal disease, glaucoma

✤ Cataract surgical rate: 800 (2010 estimate)

The Standouts: China and India

Vision in Practice: Our Mission

Vision in Practice strives to eliminate needless blindness in China (and beyond)

by providing doctors and support staff with the clinical and surgical training, business skills,

resources and networks they need to build, operate and expand

high-quality, high-volume and financially sustainable eye care practices in any community

regardless of patients’ ability to pay.

Cataract surgery training at AravindSince 2008, organized training in India of 50+ Chinese surgeons in ECCE, SICS, phaco

Page 6: Gift of sight_by_vision_in_practice

What awaits these surgeons upon their return to China?

✤ Limited access to surgical opportunities, despite training

✤ Temptation to “moonlight” outside on nights, weekends

✤ Continuing low salaries due to “monopoly” of senior surgeons

✤ Collapsing morale, temptation to abandon medical practice for industry jobs

Page 7: Gift of sight_by_vision_in_practice

An Aravind-Inspired Workplace

✤ Demand generation: Intense focus on rural screening camps

✤ Capacity building: Training, retraining and recruitment to meet newly generated demand

✤ Safety is paramount: Low rate of complications best assured by staff empowerment, high skills and accountability

✤ Services with dignity: Treat patients as if they were kin

✤ Cost recovery: Premium subsidizes low-cost surgeries

✤ Reimbursement: Multiple sources of revenue capture

✤ Nothing is “free”: Standard Surgery provided at “no cost to the patient”, but optional upgrades help drive revenue

✤ Patient counseling: Even the poor can make intelligent, informed decisions

All together now: Screening as a joyous team effort

Page 19: Gift of sight_by_vision_in_practice

Outreach in the open airDespite only one day’s notice, 86 villagers turn out for county’s first free screening

Page 20: Gift of sight_by_vision_in_practice

Logistical challenges of poor, rural patients

✤ 88 years old, with operable cataract in both eyes

✤ Lives alone with no phone, doesn’t know her own address

✤ Hobbled to screening on feet that were bound in her youth

✤ Keen for free screening, walked 1 hour from another village

Page 21: Gift of sight_by_vision_in_practice

Camp Metrics

✤ Screened villagers range from infants to nonagenarians

✤ Screening differs widely: many ailments, wide demographics

✤ Nearly 1 in 3 presents with serious cataracts, most with at least one operable eye

✤ Many have no means to travel to hospital or district town
