On April 21, a representative of Tra Vinh University said that they had just coordinated with the Department of Education and Training of Tra Vinh province, Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital and Rohto Mentholatum Vietnam Company (abbreviated as V.Rohto Vietnam Company) to organize the program "School eye examination in 2025" for 625 students of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Secondary School, Tra Vinh city.
At Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Secondary School, students receive eye screening such as: vision testing, eye examination, refractive error measurement and prescription of glasses and medicine for students with eye diseases...; a team of ophthalmology doctors and nurses guide eye physical therapy exercises.
During the program, the doctor directly guided students through two simple exercises to help reduce eye strain, such as closing your eyes and relaxing 10 times and rubbing your hands to create heat on your eyes for 30 seconds.
The program "School Eye Examination 2025" sponsored by V.Rohto Vietnam Company took place from April 21 to 25 for about 4,000 primary and secondary school students in Tra Vinh province.
Doctor Nguyen Duc Phuong Thanh - head of the delegation of Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital - said that every day students spend a lot of time studying, reading books, and using electronic devices.
Proper eye care is essential. Therefore, children should have regular eye exams, eat a nutritious diet and do eye exercises to maintain good vision.
Tra Vinh is one of 5 provinces and cities sponsored by V.Rohto Vietnam Company to implement the program. This program aims to improve knowledge of eye health care. At the same time, it screens and promptly detects eye diseases, contributing to eye health care for students.
Ms. Phung Thi Phuong Khanh - Director of the Community Service Center of Tra Vinh University - said that the program not only brings practical value to students, but also demonstrates a meaningful cooperative relationship between schools, businesses and medical facilities in caring for community health.
In particular, within the framework of the program, V.Rohto Vietnam Company committed to sponsoring 100 cataract surgeries for Tra Vinh University Hospital in 2025.
This humanitarian activity helps improve the vision of many patients in difficult circumstances, contributing to improving the quality of life for local people.
