Essilor holds free eye clinic for Delfingen employees
Essilor
Vision Foundation (EVF), in partnership with DELFINGEN Foundation, mounted recently
its second eye care initiative in Cavite.
Committed
to bringing healthy vision to Filipinos nationwide, EVF conducted a series of
free eye check-ups for more than 300 DELFINGEN employees and their families led
by over 30 volunteers from Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines. Those who
needed corrective lenses were provided with prescription glasses.
“Healthy
eyesight is not just a basic human right; it also has a considerable impact on
one’s work productivity. Studies prove that workers who suffer from uncorrected
vision are 34% less productive. But research also shows, a simple pair of
glasses can considerably improve one’s overall quality of life,” said Essilor Vision
Foundation (EVF) ASEAN coordinator Germaine Lye. “This is why the foundation is
and will remain committed to collaborating with like-minded partners like
DELFINGEN Foundation to address uncorrected refractive error in the Philippines
and around the world.” The first eye care initiative of Essilor Vision
Foundation and DELFINGEN was held in Cebu in 2017.
EVF’s
eye care initiative aims not only to provide vision care to the Filipino
population but also to create greater awareness of adequate eye care and the
importance of regular eye checkups.
