School Eye health Programme - Jharkhand A study conducted in eastern regions of Jharkhand shows that more than two third (71.5%) of children have visual impairment due to refractive error which can be easily treated.  The prevalence of refractive error is very high among school-going children so school health services including eye screening should be given special attention by the government. However, a large chunk remains undetected and uncorrected due to limited capacity and reach of the existing eye health system. There is an urgent need to integrate eye health into the wider school health component and cover the population residing in the last corner of the society in Ramgarh district of Jharkhand. It is estimated that a smaller number of school children are benefited from eye health services offered through the school system. There is a serious lack of awareness about eye health. The comprehensive approach under the project initiative in Jharkhand aims to strengthen the school eye health program as per local needs and conditions, to enhance the quality of life and educational capabilities thereby eliminating blindness and visual disability amongst school children.
