The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

Since 24 November 2007, about $55 million has been spent on eye health in the Asia-Pacific region. This has included funding for eye screening for over 150,000 school aged children in Cambodia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Solomon Islands and Vietnam.

Specific age disaggregated data is not available on a financial basis for all of the countries in which Australia provides funding for avoidable blindness.
