This week, The Duchess of Edinburgh has been in Ethiopia with @orbis_uk to highlight services protecting the vision of children and adults. Her Royal Highness is Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, @iapb .

In Hawassa on Tuesday, HRH met health workers screening for and treating blinding trachoma at a primary eye care unit. With repeated infections, this condition will cause a person’s eyelids to turn inwards, scrapping and damaging the surface with every painful blink.

At a local school, HRH saw how children are screened by teachers for eye conditions, and where they learn how to protect themselves from trachoma through school eye care clubs.

On Wednesday in Addis Ababa, HRH took part in a historic trachoma elimination conference, which brought together over 40 organisations and more than 100 participants to discuss obstacles, successes and future plans.

Today, The Duchess joined events to mark World Sight Day at Berhanena Selam Printing Enterprise, where over 900 staff were provided with free eye tests and offered presentations about how to protect their vision.
