More than 4,000 hinterland residents will benefit from free spectacles from the Government of Guyana through a programme to be launched shortly.
This was disclosed by Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony, who said the “snap on” spectacles programme will be launched within a month.
“This is a special programme that we have…because we will be able to offer spectacles to people in remote communities. We will be able to screen them to see whether they have an eye problem and if they do have an eye problem, to be able to rectify it…almost instantly by giving them the spectacles,” Dr Anthony told the Department of Public Information (DPI).
