What facilities and equipment are available for cataract surgery?
Collect information on all surgical facilities and equipment available for cataract intervention, from case-finding and mobilization to follow-up visits. Calculate the cataract surgery output for each surgical centre over the past five years. It may be useful for each surgical centre to indicate the maximum number of cataract operations that they can perform each year. Dividing the present output by this maximum output gives an indication of the utilization of the centre. Maximum output minus present output indicates the extra possible output. Constraints, limiting current surgical output should be listed, since activities to address these constraints could become action points in the VISION 2020 action plan.
