You must be the change you wish to see in the world
It is still the month of vision care and free eye screenings all around the globe. This outreach was no exception, it was organized around KNUST environs to educate people on the main causes of blindness all across the globe.
It was also a free eye screening exercise a kind of opportunistic eye care for those who had never checked their eyes, those who haven’t done so in and very long time and even the regular eye clinic goers.
Eyecare everywhere is the goal this year and we intend to reach as many as we can through free eye screening exercises.
Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?
