The Armenian EyeCare Project’s (AECP) goal is to teach rural communities about the importance of eye health and eliminate preventable blindness in Armenia. Through interviews, surveys, observations, and case studies, we collected and analyzed data that were useful to compile recommendations for AECP to develop more effective workshops on common eye diseases and traumas in children to help educate parents and encourage seeking professional help from ophthalmologists. Furthermore, we provided ideas for future workshops that incorporated more active learning activities.
