Abstract:
Sight restoring for cataract patients in countryside has been made great progress by years of effort, including floating medical team of ophthalmology, and "Vision First-China in Action" activity. Establishment of stable rural basic medical unit for prevention of blindness is recommended as an effective way in the long run because it is able to put the prevention of blindness in the list of the priorities by the local government, facilitate cataract patients to be treated at the local committee, offer local doctors great opportunities for training, and finally establish the rural network for prevention of blindness.
