HKSB’s contributions for the world

The low vision services we provided is renowned for its comprehensiveness and service quality in the Asia Pacific, and our work in the area of low vision is influential worldwide. We have prepared the ”Essential List for Low Vision Services” for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) together with other international organizations. The list provides recommendations for Instrumentation, Equipment and Low Vision Optical Devices and Assistive Devices for people with low vision. The list has been uploaded onto IAPB’s and HKSB’s website.

In addition, HKSB also participated in the preparation of a training curriculum, the “Standard Low Vision Curriculum for Optometrists”, which is publicized through IAPB and other international vision rehabilitation meetings and conferences.
