Spreading awareness of eye screening must be taken on a massive scale to see the impact. This application can be widely used by the large eye institutions in primary eye care, optometrists, optometrists and vision technicians. To increase awareness about eye care around the country, it would be of great benefit if all trade bodies and professional associations endorse this app and use their networks to promote the same. Alongside, all the sector’s associations working under the refractive error space could consider further discussions with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Commerce, and Ministry of Education to work on a long-term goal till the year 2030 to reduce the uncorrected refractive error prevalence in India.
