Project Background

The William J.

To advance this objective, WJCF is planning to implement decentralized presbyopia care across 8 districts of Chhattisgarh. The project will focus on generating operational learnings, implementation insights, and evidence-based approaches that can inform scalable models for state-wide adoption. As part of the initiative, WJCF will support the capacity building of healthcare workers-including primary-level staff and frontline health workers-on presbyopia identification, screening protocols, counselling, and referral pathways, thereby strengthening the delivery of comprehensive eye-care services at the primary-care level. These efforts will be complemented by community engagement and awareness activities designed to improve understanding of presbyopia, encourage timely care-seeking, and enhance the uptake of near-vision correction and comprehensive eye care.

Programme Overview

Presbyopia is an age-related condition characterized by the gradual loss of the ability to see objects clearly up close that affects over one billion people globally. It is estimated that approximately 150 million live with uncorrected presbyopia in India. When unaddressed, presbyopia severely impacts daily life and job performance, particularly in occupations requiring clear near vision. Unaddressed presbyopia is estimated to adversely impact Indias GDP by billion annually. Presbyopia can be corrected with near vision glasses (also known as reading glasses) which has shown to increase income by 28% and productivity by 30%.
