As lead up of activity to commemorate the World Sight Day, a free eye testing school screening was done at Ted Diro Primary School this morning.
The schools screening is an ongoing project funded by the USAID which will be carried throughout this year.
PNG Eye Care Ophthalmologist Dr. Jambi Garap says what the Eye Care Team try to do is to detect if there are any problems the students are facing with their sight.
“Usually the percentage of people who is most like to have some problem with their sight is about 3 to 4 % of the school population.”
