Activity Outline
The Binocular Vision and Dry Eye Workshop is designed to equip volunteers participating in the 2025 Eyes4Everest eye camp with practical knowledge and clinical skills. Participants will learn how to perform, interpret, and manage common binocular vision dysfunctions, while also exploring how altitude and rural environments impact ocular health. The workshop will include discussion of dry eye cases in mountain communities and management of anterior eye conditions in resource-limited settings. Volunteers will have the opportunity to practice skills on each other and on patients, receiving constructive feedback from Shaun Chang and Louise Yau throughout the session.
