According to a Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology study released in 2015, blindness rates in Vietnam have been falling gradually over the last 20 years.
Despite this great achievement by Orbis and the wider eye care community, Vietnam continues to face obstacles in providing comprehensive eye care services, especially in rural areas. Our focus, along with our partners, is to improve the quality of care available by improving training and strengthening human resources, especially outside of urban settings.
