Monitoring & Evaluation

To effectively gauge the efficacy of our Vision Screening programs, we have in place a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation process. This includes follow-up surveys with beneficiaries to assess the accuracy of screenings, beneficiary satisfaction, and the overall quality of programs. By analysing this feedback, we can identify areas for improvement and ensure the programs are impactful. Additionally, we have introduced spectacle compliance initiatives to ensure that individuals prescribed corrective eyewear adhere to using them. This helps maximize the benefits of the screenings, ensuring that visual impairments are effectively addressed and contributing to long-term positive outcomes for the communities we serve.
