Examination is for man, not man for examination. I feel life without tests will be boring. It makes life interesting especially when you see it as a challenge. I personally like the feeling of victory after succeeding in an exam.

It is expedient that such giant strides in the prevention of avoidable blindness especially through refractive error correction for school children, be replicated across the globe. The result will far exceed our greatest...

A beautiful essay. Nice ideas, organized to an extent. Had major setbacks with the language of expression. Grammatical errors and poor structuring made it less articulating. Good knowledge of tenses, subject-verb concord, spellings would greatly improve the essay. Overall, it is a beautiful attempt

Indeed, VISION 2020 has made a significant change to blindness control globally. Looking closely at the epidemiology, there is a decline in the prevalence of global blindness and visual impairment since inception. Like many of the great minds have said on this platform, a lot needs to be done. I believe the best strategy to 'scale up' would require collective...

Interesting presentation, well articulated. Apart from poverty and lack of awareness as a major cause of visual impairment, most especially for glaucoma, negligence on the part of eye health workers is a factor. Many times, glaucoma, especially at the early stages are missed out, as it seldom comes as the patient's chief complaint. As we approach year 2020, I...
