NEWS NEWS NEWS WHO LAUNCHES THE WHOEYES APP ON WORLD SIGHT DAY Geneva, Oct 12 (Prensa Latina) To draw attention to blindness and vision impairment worldwide, every year on the second Thursday of October, World Sight Day is observed. For this year’s celebration, the World Health Organization (WHO) has launched “WHOeyes”, a free app for the general public to check how well they can see things close up and at a distance and learn how they can protect their eyes. The app checks visual acuity – a measure of how well the eye can distinguish shapes and details at a given distance and is the most common assessment of visual function. * October 12, 2023 * 15:58 It is a simple, non-invasive measure, which is critical to determine if someone has a vision impairment. Many people with vision loss are unaware of it. Regular vision checks can ensure that vision impairment is identified as early as possible, and that action can be taken to preserve eyesight. Understanding that engaging the public is pivotal to advance the demand for eye care services, WHOeyes targets the entire population aged over 8 years. WHOeyes does not replace the need for regular eye checks by an eye care professional, and its primary objective is to encourage people to seek out eye care. If you suspect you have vision loss, please seek the advice of a qualified professional. “The WHOeyes app can help people quickly and easily identify potential vision issues that merit further checking by a qualified professional,” said Dr. Bente Mikkelsen, WHO Director for Noncommunicable Diseases. “We decided to share this simple eye test and quick tips for eye care on an app, as people use their phones daily, and many people are unaware that they have a vision problem until it is too late.” Available in all 6 UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish), the WHOeyes app can be downloaded for free both on the Apple App Store and Google Play. pll/mem/lpn * #app #health #sight #who LATEST NEWS * 19:11 Russian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers discuss Aktau plane crash * 18:55 Cuban President Present at Tribute to His Country in Peru * 18:44 Mujica is making progress after endoscopic procedure in Uruguay * 14:08 Cuba remembers title of Doctor Honoris Causa awarded to Che * 13:49 President of Venezuela considers 2024 a year of victory and peace (+Photos) * 13:39 Cuba condemns Israeli aggression in the Palestinian strip RELATED RUSSIAN AND AZERBAIJANI FOREIGN MINISTERS DISCUSS AKTAU PLANE CRASH * December 28, 2024 * 7:11 pm CUBAN PRESIDENT PRESENT AT TRIBUTE TO HIS COUNTRY IN PERU * December 28, 2024 * 6:55 pm MUJICA IS MAKING PROGRESS AFTER ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURE IN URUGUAY * December 28, 2024 * 6:44 pm CUBA REMEMBERS TITLE OF DOCTOR HONORIS CAUSA AWARDED TO CHE * December 28, 2024 * 2:08 pm Facebook Twitter Youtube Telegram | Text SMS to 8100 with content PL Receive 4 mesages x 25 cup © 2016-2021 Prensa Latina Latin American News Agency Radio – Publications – Videos – News by the minute.
