Eye camp held at Britona
SALIGAO: Asserting that eyes are an important part of the human body, Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte has stated that periodic eye tests are necessary.
He was speaking at Britona at a free eye-test camp organised by Porvorim Rising in association with GKB Ophthalmics in the presence of Parish Priest Fr Mathew Fernandes, Zilla Panchayat member Gupesh Naik and Penha-da-Franca panchayat members.
“Many eye problems have no obvious signs or symptoms and hence, one may not know that a problem exists. Early diagnosis and treatment of vision problems can help prevent loss or impairment of vision. Such free eye-test camps should be organised in villages at regular intervals, particularly for the poor,” Khaunte added.
Fr Fernandes and Gupesh also spoke on the occasion.
