Experts Conducting Eye Health Examinations for Elderly Students

On the same day, 15 branches including Tianjin, Hubei, and Sichuan, simultaneously organized eye health awareness campaigns and screening activities for elderly students, inviting local ophthalmologists to participate.

From March to May this year, over 10 pilot eye health education and awareness campaigns were conducted in Neijiang (Sichuan), Zunyi (Guizhou), Yanji (Jilin) and other cities, benefiting more than 1,000 elderly people. These initiatives not only brought professional, convenient and high-quality eye health services directly to seniors, but also laid a solid foundation for continuously improving eye care services for the public.
