The International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH) is a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for the Prevention of Blindness. The aim of ICEH is to facilitate a reduction in blindness with a particular emphasis on low income countries. ICEH conducts research into prevention and treatment of the major causes of blindness, provides education in Community Eye Health - both in the UK and outside the UK - and disseminates information to health workers worldwide through the development and distribution of teaching and learning materials.
