Guiding principles and resource repository
Guidelines and resources compiled by members of the IAPB COVID-19 Taskforce.
The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way the health and development communities are working. With the proximity of eye health professionals to patients during eye examinations and reports that the virus can cause conjunctivitis, COVID-19 has implications for eye health and eye health professionals. Travel restrictions, reprioritisation of health resources and economic consequences are impacting the work of many of our member and partner organisations.
To assist IAPB members, eye health personnel, health professionals and program personnel, IAPB is collating and sharing information and resources specific to eye health and international development in relation to COVID-19. Please select one of the following links to learn more.
