Over 200 people received free eye examinations.

On November 21st, An Tho Pagoda (Long An Ward, Tay Ninh Province) collaborated with Viet Eye Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, to organize a free eye examination program for the community.

During the examination, doctors from Vietnam Eye Hospital checked the eyesight of 240 people, measured their nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and screened for common conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other abnormalities that could have long-term effects on vision. For cases where serious conditions were detected or required further monitoring, the doctors advised on specific treatment options and scheduled follow-up appointments at the hospital.

People received vision tests, fundus examinations, and comprehensive eye screenings.

Venerable Thich Le Ngon, abbot of An Tho Pagoda, said: "Along with blood donation, the eye examination program is an activity within the series of charitable programs for community health that the pagoda aims for."

The program was organized to screen for and provide treatment advice for common eye diseases in the elderly.

Nguyen The Phuong, Head of the Community Department at Vietnam Eye Hospital, shared: “Through this examination, we hope to detect eye diseases early, provide timely treatment, and help people maintain bright, healthy eyesight.”

On this occasion, the medical staff of Long An ward also sent personnel to assist with the organization of the event.
