We want everyone, especially the elderly and children, to come out and benefit from this service,” said Ms. Animashaun.
She noted that the first 200 children to attend will receive free eye surgeries, glasses, and drugs. Elderly residents will also get free glasses and eye medications.
Animashaun encouraged everyone to take part in the programme and get checked by experienced optometrists.
“There will be free consultations, screenings, and eye care treatments. We are doing this to ensure that people in our community can have better vision and good eye health,” she added.
The Council Chairperson advised all participants to be seated by 9 a.m. each day to ensure smooth and timely service delivery.
“We want to make sure everyone is attended to, so it’s important to come early,” she said.
