In order to increase service coverage and reduce the prevalence of blinding trachoma, World Vision has been managing a mobile eye care clinic. The clinic program commenced in early 2005 and during this time clinic staff have screened thousands of people for trachoma and have provided opportunities for local health workers to learn about eye care, as well as providing training to health workers.

In addition, the clinic provides basic examination services including assessment of refractory errors.

Used eyeglasses are collected from donors inside and outside the country and are provided, free of charge, to people needing them. The clinic team also provides basic health education to control the spread of preventable eye disease amongst people in the visited communities.

The clinic travels in a four wheel drive, and is staffed by a driver, an ophthalmic nurse and volunteer ophthalmologists. The vehicle transports the staff and materials, while surgery, treatment and training are undertaken inside local health posts or tents, depending on the facilities available in the area being serviced.

Due to the clinic's focus on education, there is a strong element of sustainability with communities learning how to reduce the prevalence of blinding trachoma.
