Agreement Signed with Two Optical Shops... Support Provided for 45 Children with Low Vision

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County has joined hands with local opticians to protect the eye health of Dream Start children.

On the 18th, Hampyeong County in Jeollanam-do announced that it will carry out the ‘2021 Dream Start Children Eyeglasses Support’ project in cooperation with local opticians until the 11th of next month.

This project aims to support eyeglasses for school-age Dream Start children who have not worn glasses at the appropriate time, and to guide them on proper eyeglass wearing methods to help early vision correction.

Accordingly, the county conducted vision screenings for school-age Dream Start children in June and selected 45 children who need vision correction based on the results.

Furthermore, the county signed agreements with two local opticians, ‘Yoon Optics’ and ‘Elite Optics,’ to provide eyeglasses to children with deteriorating vision in cooperation with Hampyeong County Dream Start.

A county official said, “We hope this project helps children maintain proper eye health habits and also improves their learning abilities. We also thank the local opticians who supported this project.”
