Successful Monthly Eye Investigations Clinic at Eye Care Optometrists – Kurunegala Branch
Kurunegala, 23/8/2024 – The Eye Care Optometrists Center at the Kurunegala branch recently held its highly anticipated Monthly Eye Investigations Clinic, offering free comprehensive eye check-ups and consultations. The event, which took place earlier this month, saw a large number of residents taking advantage of the free services provided by the centre’s skilled eye care doctors.
In line with their mission to promote better eye health within the community, Eye Care Optometrists has made this clinic a regular initiative, offering critical services at no cost. The program is designed to cater to individuals of all ages, from children experiencing vision problems to seniors in need of more thorough eye care due to age-related issues.
“Our Monthly Eye Investigations Clinic is part of our ongoing commitment to make essential eye care accessible to everyone,” said the branch manager of Eye Care Optometrists in Kurunegala. “We are thrilled with the turnout and grateful for the trust the community places in our team to provide high-quality, free eye care.”
Throughout the clinic, attendees received a variety of eye investigations, including:
- Visual acuity tests to determine clarity of vision.
- Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements for early detection of glaucoma.
- Refraction tests for prescription updates for glasses or contact lenses.
- Retinal examinations for early signs of diabetic retinopathy and other conditions.
Many attendees appreciated the thorough, personalized care offered by the centre’s highly trained optometrists and ophthalmologists, who provided not just diagnostics but also professional advice on maintaining optimal eye health.
“This clinic is such a valuable service, especially for those of us who may not be able to afford frequent eye exams,” commented one patient who attended the clinic. “The doctors were so attentive and really took the time to explain everything.”
The event also served as a vital platform for raising awareness about common yet serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. The clinic’s team emphasized the importance of early detection and regular check-ups to prevent long-term vision loss.
“Many eye problems can be managed or even prevented if caught early,” said one of the lead doctors at the clinic. “Through initiatives like this, we hope to encourage more people to prioritize their eye health and get regular check-ups.”
The Monthly Eye Investigations Clinic will continue to be a staple event at the Kurunegala branch of Eye Care Optometrists, with plans to further expand its reach in the coming months. Eye Care Optometrists remains dedicated to offering top-tier eye care services to the community, ensuring that financial barriers don’t prevent individuals from receiving the care they need.
