silmaeksami
Silmaeksami is a traditional practice of eye examination and vision assessment used in some Nordic countries, particularly in Estonia. The term "silmaeksami" originates from the Estonian language, combining "silma," meaning eye, and "eksami," meaning exam or test. This practice encompasses a range of methods and procedures aimed at evaluating visual acuity, eye health, and functional vision.
Historically, silmaeksami has been conducted both informally by community health workers and formally within medical settings.

While the specific procedures may vary regionally, silmaeksami remains an important component of community health programs
