The National Eye Institute, as part of its mission, is committed to helping the world's developing countries combat blinding eye diseases. This requires information about the prevalence, incidence, and causes of blindness and visual disability and impediments to the reduction of these conditions on an international level. This information is necessary to identify research opportunities that may provide basic knowledge about etiologies and opportunities for the transfer of new knowledge developed by NEI-supported scientists to locations where this new knowledge may contribute to the alleviation of blindness and visual disability. A contractual arrangement between NEI and the World Health Organization has been in effect since 1979 with the goal of strengthening the Program for the Prevention of Blindness world-wide. In this contract period, work will include: evaluation of selected national blindness prevention programs with regard to disease prevalence, impact on service delivery, patient outcomes, and assessment of global economic burden including direct monetary costs and personal costs related to a range of quality of life issues; assessment of the magnitude and type of refractory anomalies in school-age children and in adults from different ethnic/cultural settings; and provision of technical assistance and guidelines for providing appropriate eye care and monitoring of eye-care delivery outcomes.

作为其任务的一部分，国家眼科研究所致力于帮助世界发展中国家打击视力疾病。这需要有关失明和视力障碍的患病率，发病率和原因的信息，以及在国际水平上减少这些条件的障碍。这些信息对于确定可能提供有关病因和机会转移新知识的基本知识的研究机会是必要的。 NEI与世界卫生组织之间的合同安排自1979年以来一直有效，目的是加强全球预防失明计划。在此合同期内，工作将包括：评估选定的国家盲目预防计划，以了解疾病的患病率，对服务提供的影响，患者结果以及对全球经济负担的评估，包括直接货币成本和与一系列生活质量问题有关的个人成本；评估学龄儿童和来自不同种族/文化环境的成年人中难治性异常的大小和类型；并提供技术援助和指南，以提供适当的眼部护理和眼神交付结果的监测。
