Eye See PNG - glasses without the optometrist.

In partnership with OOXII, KTF is bringing better eye care to some of PNG’s most remote communities through the Eye See PNG project.

​

This initiative equips community health workers with state-of-the-art portable, eye testing equipment and the training to assess both near and distance vision, check eye health, and make referrals where needed.

​

What makes Eye See PNG unique is its simplicity and immediacy - health workers can assemble prescription glasses on the spot, giving people clearer vision straight away. With ongoing supplies and support, this project is building long-term local capacity, helping more Papua New Guineans see clearly and live more confidently.

Akisa, a local community member, jumped at the chance to be tested when she heard that the KTF Eye See PNG teams were in her area. She’s had poor vision since childhood, which made studying such a challenge that she dropped out of school. Recently, Akisa attempted a return to school by enrolling in FODE studies, but her worsening eyesight forced her to withdraw after just two months. Thanks to KTF’s Eye See PNG team, Akisa received a proper eye test and corrective glasses, sparking a renewed interest in pursuing her studies. 

​

“Thanks to the Eye See PNG I have hope to continue my studies, I’m fully satisfied with the proper test done by the team.”
