Resources for health professionals and communities to help promote regular eye checks (through the annual 715 health check) and awareness on the other eye conditions including cataract and refractive error.
About 'Eyecare Now, Eyecare Always'
‘Eyecare Now, Eyecare Always’ is a suite of eye health promotion resources aimed at promoting regular eye checks in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia. These resources aim to assist primary health care providers, including Aboriginal Health Workers and Practitioners, to promote regular eye checks, particularly through the annual 715 health check, and awareness of refractive error and cataract.
The new ‘Eyecare Now, Eyecare Always’ health promotion resources were developed with a community-led approach centred around self-determination, voice, and connections.
The new ‘Eyecare Now, Eyecare Always’ resources will build on IEHU’s existing health promotion resources and tools to support the improvements in eye health system reform activities in regional collaborations across Australia.
