Marawi 2020 | Free Glasses For A Brighter Future
Philippine Association of Optometrists. Inc. (IPAO) started their outreach program with Essilor Vision Foundation with their Improving Lives By Improving Sights last year, which they started with Eye Can Succeed giving out and provided 10,000 glasses to senior high school students believing to have better lives if their visions are corrected. This wonderful project is still ongoing.
And with this Marawi 2020 campaign, they will provide 30,000 glasses to those who will need correction in support for the government's Bangon Marawi.
"Through this advocacy campaign, we wish to boost people’s confidence in seeing life more clearly. Better vision in life lets them know that it is never too late to start anew, to brush off the ashes and hope for a brighter future," shared Dr. Emelita Roleda, general manager of Essilor Philippines.
Marawi 2020 campaign is one of the many programs spearheaded by EVF, the philanthropic arm of Essilor, world leader in ophthalmic optics. EVF is committed to eliminating poor vision and its lifelong consequences, and to providing underprivileged people the opportunity to live a better life through better sight.
With the help of volunteer optometrists from IPAO, the campaign will provide all residents with free eye checks and corrective glasses, if needed. EVF and IPAO also aim to create sustainable access to vision care services by creating an Eye & Vision Clinic at the Department of Health (DOH) Hospital in Marawi City. Furthermore, the program aims to help local optometrists re-establish their practices by providing them livelihood to recover from their losses.
