- Abstract
Vision loss in Australian Indigenous communities can be largely prevented if appropriate eye care services are provided and accessed. Our extensive consultations across Australia identify opportunities to improve community and health provider awareness through eye health promotion. An improved awareness of eye care, service availability, and when and how to seek care, will contribute to closing the gap for vision.
