Abstract
- Trachoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in Kenya, but it may be prevented in the early stages by tetracycline ointment. Mobile eye units (MEUs) provide the means by which technicians travel to remote villages. 2. Ophthalmic clinical officers travel to remote areas, providing examinations, diagnoses, ointments, eye medications, and lectures on eye care. In addition, villagers are trained in basic health and hygiene to help prevent many eye disorders. 3. Once the MEUs are purchased, continuing funds are needed to keep them running and to supply them with gasoline.
