Strategy

Solutions At Scale:
Global And National Strategies

EYElliance is exclusively focused on driving global and national strategies to close the gap in access to eyeglasses. We’re working to grow the ecosystem and orchestrate the actors needed to bring glasses and their profound benefits to the 1 billion people who need them.

Nationally, we systematize proven models of eyeglasses delivery and help governments secure sustainable financing, enabling them to provide routine, reliable access to eyeglasses via existing health and education programs.

Globally, we amplify the cause of equitable access to eyeglasses, advocate for increased financing, and bring influential new actors into the solution.

Government Delivery

Enabling governments to efficiently and effectively integrate eyeglasses into education and public health systems.
‍
School Eye Health is based on three main activities:

  • Teachers or nurses screen children for vision problems on-site at schools;
  • Children identified with vision problems are examined by an eye health professional who determines the eyeglasses prescription or refers them for more advanced care;
  • Children who are in need of eyeglasses are provided a pair for free.

Community Eye Health includes:

  • Training community health workers to conduct basic vision screenings, dispense reading glasses, and refer those in need of advanced care (like cataract surgery) to the appropriate facility for treatment.

Sustainable Financing

Influencing and increasing new and existing financing within the public and private sector.

Institutional Advocacy

We ensure that equitable access to glasses is prioritized on the agendas of key actors in global development. We make the case for action and investment by:

  • Cultivating new champions,
  • Networking and connecting,
  • Developing reports and costing analyses,
  • Hosting trainings and webinars,
  • Tool development.

Catalytic Partnerships

Growing the ecosystem of champions that join in the solution and accelerate global scale.
