Over 120 residents from the Region Two villages of St. Monica and Lima Sands have received free spectacles through the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security’s EyeCare programme.
With testing conducted just over a month ago, subject Minister, Dr. Vindhya Persaud returned to the communities to engage the residents and give them their new free tested spectacles, a release from the ministry said.
“This is a very impactful programme in the sense that if you are not able to see as well as you should, reading becomes a challenge, work becomes very difficult and school becomes tough so bringing the spectacles here, we hope this can help you manage better”, she said.
