The focus is: To improve the cataract surgical rate (CSR) and the quality of cataract surgeries To improve managerial and technical capacity of eye care providers To provide free quality cataract surgeries to the poor

MYANMAR PROJECT ACTIVITIES Support Teaching and General Hospitals Support TC&PBL Secondary Eye Centers Provide Medical Training Conduct Outreach Programs Support Regular Maintenance Provide Primary Eye Care Training Support Quality Assurance Independent Assessment, Survey, and Research Treatment of advanced glaucomas (cyclodiode) Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity

RESULTS: CATARACT SURGICAL COVERAGE Cataract Surgical Coverage significantly increased from 30.87% in average to 73.06% in average among 3 districts at 2 divisions (Sagaing and Bago)

RESULTS: In 2001, there were 252,000 cases of treatable cataract with an additional 50,000 new cases each year, while only 25,000 surgeries were being performed annually. The cataract surgical rate (CSR) was 644. In 2015, 107,371 cases were operated for a CSR of 2,065 (52 Million population). The increase in annual surgeries can be attributed in large part to HKI activities in the country.
