Imphal, November 06 2024:
A "Free School Eye Health Screening Programme" for students began today at UNACCO School, Khongman.
The programme was organised by UNACCO School in collaboration with Medilane Foundation and Medilane Eye Care as part of the broader "National Programme for Control of Blindness", aimed at promoting eye health and early detection of vision-related issues among young learners.
A total of 359 students (191 boys and 168 girls) from classes IX to XII participated in the first phase of the programme which began today, said a release issued by UNACCO School.
The screening will continue at other UNACCO Schools, including UNACCO School Meitram, UNACCO School Chanura, and UNACCO School Chanung, with specific dates to be announced later.
The comprehensive eye screening camp with the theme, "See Clearly, Learn Brightly: Screening for Brighter Tomorrows!" ensured that students receive professional eye care, contributing to their overall well-being and academic success.
Parents and guardians were also encouraged to take full advantage of this initiative to safeguard the vision health of their children.
