Free Eye Surgery and Screenings Provided for Senior Citizens

Under the agreement, both organizations will jointly promote knowledge on eye care and protection, as well as organize community-based screening drives and free consultations to assist elderly individuals in detecting ocular diseases early.

For cases requiring clinical treatment or surgical intervention, the two entities will coordinate support to facilitate access to appropriate medical procedures while mobilizing social resources to alleviate financial burdens for low-income seniors.

On this occasion, Sai Gon Phan Thiet Eye Hospital provided 50 free Phaco cataract surgery packages and 1,000 free eye examination vouchers to elderly residents across the province.

During the seminar, medical experts provided health counseling and addressed numerous inquiries from members regarding common age-related eye conditions, preventative measures, and daily eye care practices.

Nguyen Thi Phuc, Chairwoman of the Elderly Association of Lam Dong Province, stated that the partnership along with the free screening and surgical programs represents a meaningful gesture toward the senior community, directly aiding health management and enhancing quality of life for association members.
