It is important to have a link with a “Secondary” level eye care facility in Govt., NGO or private sector. A Vision Centre should be set up after the formal establishment of this link. The secondary level facility should be present ideally within a radius of 50 km. Transport of referred patients to secondary facility should be the responsibility of the latter. Complete free service is only for the very economically disadvantaged. Nominal registration fee may be charged. Referred patients may pay as per the policy of the secondary facility. School screening/teacher’s training should be free, but referred patients may be charged except poor children. Spects will be provided free of cost by DBCS. MLOPs should work for 8 hours/day and should be given a fixed salary as per minimum wage of Govt of India plus incentive.
