To evaluate the concept of quality assured mobile eye services (MES) in implementing the vision 2020 initiative.
Literature review as well as the medical records of Al-Basar International Foundation (BIF) on MES. Emphasis was focused on the causes of blindness, objectives, operation, management and the benefits of MES, a critical appraisal of MES, training for MES and the relationship with other organizations and concerned government agencies.
More than 38 countries have been included in this exercise during which more than 620 eye camps have been conducted. More than two million people have benefited from the services provided including medicines and glasses in these eye camps and about 180,000 sight restoring surgeries performed for cataract, glaucoma etc.
Quality assured MES are a very important means of tackling the problems of blindness and implementing the vision 2020 initiative. The adoption of this concept by major stake-holders in the prevention of blindness (e.g. WHO, IAPB) will bring an additional momentum to the achievement of this noble goal.
评估质量有保证的移动眼科服务（MES）在实施“视觉2020”倡议中的理念。
文献综述以及阿尔巴萨尔国际基金会（BIF）关于移动眼科服务的医疗记录。重点关注失明原因、移动眼科服务的目标、运作、管理及益处、对移动眼科服务的批判性评估、移动眼科服务培训以及与其他组织和相关政府机构的关系。
此次行动涵盖了38多个国家，期间举办了620多个眼科义诊活动。超过200万人受益于这些眼科义诊活动所提供的服务，包括药品和眼镜，并且为白内障、青光眼等疾病实施了约180,000例复明手术。
质量有保证的移动眼科服务是解决失明问题和实施“视觉2020”倡议的非常重要的手段。预防失明领域的主要利益相关者（如世界卫生组织、国际防盲机构）采用这一理念将为实现这一崇高目标带来额外的动力。
