Vision 2020: Right to sight by WHO targets all except:
The user wrote: "Vision 2020: Right to sight by WHO targets all except: A. B. C. D. Correct Answer: . C." So the correct answer is option C, but the options are missing. That's a challenge. How can I proceed? Maybe I need to recall the common components of Vision 2020 and figure out what's typically included or excluded. Let me think.
Vision 2020: The Right to Sight is a WHO program launched in 1999 to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020. The main focus was on five priority diseases: cataract, trachoma, onchocerciasis (river blindness), childhood blindness (including vitamin A deficiency and congenital cataracts), and refractive errors and low vision. Other areas might include diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Common targets included reducing blindness from these causes.
If the options are about diseases or conditions not targeted by Vision 2020, the correct answer (C) would be one that's excluded. For example, if the options are like "A. Cataract", "B. Trachoma", "C. Diabetic retinopathy", "D. Onchocerciasis", then the answer would be C. But wait, diabetic retinopathy is a priority in Vision 2020. Wait, no, maybe the question is about which is not included. Let me check again. Vision 2020's five main areas were cataract, trachoma, onchocerciasis, childhood blindness, and refractive errors. Diabetic retinopathy might not be part of the original five, but perhaps it's included in other parts. Wait, no, actually, Vision 2020 did include diabetic retinopathy as part of their focus on non-communicable diseases. Hmm, maybe the excluded one is something else. For example, maybe the question is about a condition not targeted, like age-related macular degeneration? Or perhaps glaucoma? Wait, glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, but maybe it's not a primary target of Vision 2020. Wait, I need to be precise.
Wait, Vision 2020's five priority areas were:
1. Cataract
2. Trachoma
3. Onchocerciasis
4. Childhood blindness (including vitamin A deficiency, congenital cataracts)
5. Refractive errors and low vision
Other conditions they addressed included diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Wait, no
