For
People with near-vision loss in underserved communities
Worth noticing
The fitting card is held at 40 cm; volunteers try strengths from +1.00 to +3.50 and check the next strength down.

Field notes

The fitting sequence uses a printed near-vision card and a stepped set of reader strengths, with volunteers checking the next strength down after finding a clear line. The site also describes glasses being distributed alongside other services: its Cambodia account mentions eye surgery, dental care, and LN4 prosthetic hands, while its Peru account places a clinic in Anta near Cusco at nearly 11,000 feet.
