Research
At BASEERA we realize the importance of research in developing the lives of people with visual impairment in Egypt. One of our major goals is to be a resource center for people with visual impairment in Egypt and other Arab speaking countries. There are many opportunities for both quantitative and qualitative research to be conducted in Egypt.
At BASEERA we support research that covers:
Through screening of schools and convoys:
- Early detection of visual impairment that could be prevented fully or partially
- The total number of people with visual impairment in Egypt with proper data classifying those who are blind and those who have low vision
- Collecting data of people with visual impairment in each governorate and where they reside
- Status of people with visual impairment and the medical, education, social services provided to them in each governorate
- The problems facing children with visual impairment in being mainstreamed in regular education in each governorate
- The social perceptions of people with visual impairment in the Egyptian society.
- The quality of medical support people with visual impairment receive in each governorate (important especially for preventive blindness)
- The type of services provided by the government's rehabilitation centers around Egyptian governorates
