CHESS was launched in February 2017 to address the problems of eye care inaccessibility to the elderly residents, delayed diagnoses and management of eye diseases. Novel teaching methods were implemented to rapidly heighten community nurses’ eye screening skills. Ground breaking innovations were introduced to evolve CHESS further. It is a cost-effective eye care model that has detected a significant number of asymptomatic eye conditions and has reduced the need for specialist referrals.
