Historical Pictures "Appropriate Technology part 1" by Prof. Jan Worst

How to make your own cheap ophthalmic instruments? This video shows a few of the techniques published in APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY IN OPHTHALMOLOGY (1988) a publication from I.T.I.R. (Intermediate Technology Information Ring). The I.T.I.R organisation was started in 1980, on a very small scale, by the initiative of Prof. Dr. Jan G.F. Worst. The aim of I.T.I.R. was to inform doctors,working in the field of Ophthalmology, about the possibilities of using the locally available materials to improve the Ophthalmic health care in terms of quality,or in speed and cost-effectiveness. To achieve this aim ‘Newsletters’ edited by Dr. Alke Rosbergen were sent to more than six hundred ‘eye’-workers, most of whom were active in the third world. In 1988 these ‘Newsletters’ were compiled and published under the name of ‘Appropriate Technology in Ophthalmology’. This publication is now out of print. After a total of thirty-four ‘Newsletters’ the interest to participate actively was fading away while Community Eye Health Journal started to be published regularly. Ideas can be ventilated there. In tribute to Prof. Worst and his researchgroup and all others involved in I.T.I.R , a choice of edited ‘Newsletters’ were presented in this book.
