NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR CONTROL OF BLINDNESS
(NPCB)

The national program for Control of Blindness (NPCB) has been redesignated recently as the National Programme for Control of
Blindness and Visual Impairment
Launched in 1976,

It is a 100% centrally sponsored scheme.

Its objective is to reduce the prevalence of eye diseases in general, and the prevalence of blindness from 1.40% to 0.3% by 2000 AD.

Apex Centre (National Eye Institute) is Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences (New Delhi,
AIIMS).

Revised strategies of NPCB
a) To make NPCB more comprehensive by strengthening services for other causes of blindness like corneal blindness(requiring transplantation of donated eyes), refractive errors in school-going children, improving follow-up services of cataract operated persons and treating other causes of blindness like glaucoma; To shift from the eye camp approach to a fixed facility surgical approach and from conventional surgery to IOL implantation for better quality of postoperative vision in operated patients.

b) To expand the World Bank project activities like construction of dedicated eye operation theatres, eye wards at the district level,
training of eye surgeons in modern cataract surgery and other eye
surgeries and supply of ophthalmic equipment, etc. to the whole
country.

c) To strengthen the participation of Voluntary Organizations in the
program and to earmark geographic areas to NGOs and
Government Hospitals to avoid duplication of effort and improve the performance of Government Units like Medical Colleges, District
Hospitals, Sub Divisional Hospitals, Community Health Centres,
Primary Health Centres.

d) To enhance the coverage of eye care services in tribal and other
under-served areas (uniform distribution) through the identification of bilateral blind patients, preparation of village-wise blind register and giving preference to bilateral blind patients for cataract surgery
