Funmi Ogundare
No fewer than 500 residents of Agbeda and Imadin communities in Ilesa West Local Government Area of Osun State have benefited from a free eye care intervention organised by the R.E.T.I.N.A Initiative under its Vision Without Borders 2.0 programme.
The second edition of the two-day outreach held recently, in collaboration with community stakeholders, provided free eye examinations, reading glasses, medications and referrals for advanced treatment where necessary.
Beyond direct medical services, the initiative strengthened local healthcare capacity by training community health workers at Ifesowapo Agbeda Primary Health Centre (PHC) and Imadin Primary Health Centre in basic visual acuity testing.
