Challenges preventing Zambians from accessing proper eye care

Access to quality eye care services is a major challenge for many Zambians. There are several factors that prevent individuals from
accessing proper eye care, including:

Limited Resources

Zambia has limited resources for eye health, with few hospitals and clinics providing eye care services. This makes it difficult for individuals living in rural areas to access eye care services.

Shortage of Trained Eye Care Professionals

Zambia has a shortage of trained eye care professionals, including ophthalmologists, optometrists, and ophthalmic nurses. This shortage makes it difficult for individuals to access quality eye care services.

Limited Education

A lack of education about eye health and eye diseases prevents individuals from seeking proper eye care. Many individuals are not aware of the signs and symptoms of eye diseases and may not know that treatment is available.

Cultural Beliefs and Practices

Cultural beliefs and practices can also prevent individuals from seeking proper eye care. For example, some individuals may believe that eye diseases are caused by witchcraft or curses, and may seek traditional healers rather than medical professionals.

Poverty

Poverty is a major barrier to accessing proper eye care services in Zambia. Many individuals cannot afford to pay for eye exams, medications, or surgeries.

Eyecare for Zambia is working to address these challenges by providing access to quality eye care services, training local eye care professionals, and raising awareness about the importance of eye health. Through our work, we aim to break down barriers to accessing eye care and empower individuals and communities to take charge of their eye health.
