ABOUT ICEE Since 1998, when the International Centre for Eyecare ( ICEE ) was founded in Australia, we have been developing and implementing sustainable solutions for improved eye care access. We collaborate with governments, communities and international non-government organisations to develop long term solutions by investing in local eye care education, professional education, appropriate service delivery systems and research to ensure sustainable eye care in underserved communities. 1. Develop human resource - Train enough local eye care personnel to conduct eye examinations and prescribe glasses. From local eye health worker education to healthcare personnel at all levels to increase access in underserved communities. 2. Build sustainable systems - Ensure the necessary local infrastructure to support these services exists on an ongoing basis. 3. Ensure affordability - Glasses must be available at affordable prices. 4. Collaborate - Work in partnership with international non-government organisations, local governments, industry partners and community services to ensure community programmes are supported. 5. Perform and facilitate research - To better inform our education services, programme development. All ICEE activities are designed to facilitate the establishment of permanent eye care services throughout the world, by helping equip communities with the necessary skills and resources to build and sustain their own services.
