TELEMEDICINE FOR BETTER VISION AND EDUCATION
PROJECTS
T-Vision has been active in South America for the last three years, developing countrywide plans to increase early vision correction as a means to increase early educational success that is needed for building a health educated middle class.
In Chile, there is only one ophthalmologist for every 35, 000 inhabitants. Unfortunately, most are in the major urban centers. This leaves the rural and coastal areas unserved.
In Paraguay, a country with a population of almost 6 million, is served by approximately 160 ophthalmologists, most of whom practice in the larger urban cities such as Asuncion.
