Webinar RegistrationTechnology-Enabled Eye Screening Programs: Advances, Lessons, and Limits in Community Eye Health

Jun 18, 2026, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM New York time

Technology can be a powerful force multiplier in community eye health. In this live webinar, we bring together leaders in community eye health who have implemented practical screening programs using tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) and tele-ophthalmology. Through an interactive roundtable discussion, panelists will share real-world case studies and lessons learned from programs including diabetic retinopathy screening, school-based vision screening, and other community-focused interventions. Importantly, the discussion will also address settings where technology-enabled screening is not yet feasible-and when lower-tech or alternative approaches remain necessary. We will explore what ideal, context-appropriate solutions may look like to overcome these challenges. The conversation will highlight what has worked, what has not, and critical insights into program design and leadership. Join us for an engaging discussion and the opportunity to ask questions to experts working at the front lines of community eye health innovation. (Level: All) Moderators: Anusha Purushotham, MPH, Epidemiologist and Health Policy Professional, Remidio, India Dr. Hunter Cherwek, Ophthalmologist, Orbis International, USA Panelists: Dr. Nathan Congdon, Ophthalmologist, Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Dr. Cikũ Mathenge, Ophthalmologist, Rwanda International Institute of Ophthalmology (RIIO), Rwanda Dr. Charles Cleland, Ophthalmologist, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom Dr. Kwesi Nyan Amissah-Arthur, Ophthalmologist, University of Ghana Medical School, Ghana Language: English The webinar is intended for eye care professionals.
