By now, we would all agree that COVID-19 has forced a paradigm shift in eye health service delivery mechanisms. The pandemic has created devastating impact on people, communities and economies, including health care and eye care. Mission for Vision organised this webinar on 10th of November 2020 to share effective approaches adopted by some of our partners in enabling primary eye care for vulnerable communities impacted by the pandemic, in different parts of the country.
