Mujugun Conducts Free Eye Examinations for Seniors

[Muju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hanho] Muju County announced on the 25th that it conducted free eye examinations to help local senior citizens maintain clear vision.

The free eye examinations were held in the large conference room on the 3rd floor of the Muju County Health and Medical Center, targeting 100 low-income senior citizens aged 60 and above who are registered residents of the area.

On the day, the county deployed 11 medical staff, including ophthalmologists and examination personnel, to carry out prompt and safe examinations.

The eye examinations included medical interviews, vision tests, intraocular pressure tests, refraction tests, microscopic examinations, consultations, distribution of magnifying glasses, and provision of eye drops prescribed by doctors.

As a result, the eye examinations are expected to greatly contribute to the eye health of senior citizens by preventing and detecting eye diseases early, as well as linking patients requiring surgery to medical expense support.

A representative of the Muju County Health and Medical Center said, “By conducting detailed eye examinations for low-income senior citizens, we aim to detect eye diseases early and provide timely treatment, thereby preventing blindness and helping seniors maintain vision sufficient for daily life.”
