Project Abstract
Title of Project: Development of Ophthalmology Health Information in the Urdu Language
Author: Dr. Zia ul Mazhry
Purpose: There is a lack of ophthalmology health information and patient education material in languages other than English especially Urdu. My goals were to raise awareness of this issue, consider possible solutions, and put forth a method by which this material may be developed and made available to the public.
Methods: I reviewed the free patient education materials available from authentic internet resources like American Academy of Ophthalmology and the “Eye Health” online. I discussed this issue with the member colleagues of Ophthalmological Society of Pakistan. The Urdu language was chosen because this is the national language of Pakistan and is the most spoken and read the language in the country.
I authored health information on ten core general ophthalmology topics in English, and these were translated into Urdu. These include Flashes and Floaters, Retinal Detachment, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, Cataract, Blepharitis, Dry Eye, Presbyopia, and Keratoconus.
Results: The final version of these ten topics is about two pages each in length. This document will be posted on the OSP Lahore’s website. This document may be distributed as a health information document or used at the point of care for patient education in an after visit summary.
Conclusions: A core conclusion from this project is that ideally an ophthalmologist who is fluent in the language and familiar with the culture, should develop health information in a given language.
This model could be applied to other languages. The difference between translation and interpretation was highlighted throughout this project.
