Continuing the journey of school health care

Previously, Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital cooperated with Dong Nai Children's Hospital to implement a comprehensive eye examination program for more than 4,700 students at Ha Huy Giap Primary School. The program received positive responses from parents, teachers and students, demonstrating the effectiveness and practical significance of the school health care model that the Hospital is aiming for.

Continuing the journey, Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital continues to expand the free eye examination program to Nguyen Thai Hoc Primary School, marking a new development in the chain of school health care activities of the Hospital. This is a testament to the Hospital's commitment to social responsibility and the orientation of bringing high-quality medical services closer to the community.

Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital is constantly expanding its school eye care program to many schools in the area.

Comprehensive health check-up for 3,500 students of Nguyen Thai Hoc Primary School

The health check-up program at Nguyen Thai Hoc Primary School took place from October 10 to October 16, 2025. Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital continued to undertake the specialized eye examination, and Dong Nai Children's Hospital was responsible for the general health examination. Thanks to close coordination, the program was organized in a systematic manner, ensuring that 3,500 students were examined for vision, screened for refractive errors, and given a comprehensive health check-up.

Right from the first examination, each class was arranged to take turns to the examination area to ensure order and convenience for medical work. The team of doctors and nurses of Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital were present early so that the examination activities could proceed smoothly.

To ensure that all students are thoroughly examined, doctors at Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital have used a pupilloscopy device to detect early and accurately refractive errors, especially school myopia. Screening and early detection help doctors monitor, adjust and control myopia progression in a timely manner, and advise parents on appropriate vision care methods.

The close coordination of the two hospitals and the support of the school and parents has brought success to the program. All students of Nguyen Thai Hoc Primary School have received comprehensive health check-ups, helping students have a safe and healthy learning environment, creating a solid foundation for comprehensive development.

The importance of controlling school myopia early

Currently, the rate of nearsighted students is at an alarming level, potentially causing concerns about dangerous eye complications. When children are nearsighted, the degree of nearsightedness will increase rapidly over the years, warning of the risk of facing dangerous diseases that cause permanent vision loss such as cataracts, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, etc.

In response to the above situation, the Hospital has promoted educational activities and raised awareness among students and parents about the importance of protecting school vision. In addition to proactive prevention in children who are not yet nearsighted, controlling the increase in degree in children who are nearsighted is important, helping to promptly control the progression of myopia and protect the long-term quality of life of children.

Accompanying parents, Saigon Bien Hoa Eye Hospital has officially launched the Myopia Progression Control service package for children at a preferential price of only 1 million VND (original price 2 million VND). This price not only helps parents easily access specialized eye care services, but also reduces the cost burden, providing the opportunity to protect their children's eyesight from an early age.
