[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulleung-gun Health Medical Center conducted free eye examinations for 160 residents aged 60 and over and about 60 preschool children at the Ulleung-gun Youth Center from the 26th to the 27th.


Ulleung-gun was selected for the Ministry of Health and Welfare's '2022 Elderly Blindness Prevention Project' free eye examination program, applied for in February, to provide detailed eye examinations to elderly residents in vulnerable areas, aiming to detect eye diseases early and help prevent blindness.


The eye examinations for preschool children were conducted with sponsorship from LG Display.


Kim Young-heon, director of Ulleung-gun Health Medical Center, said, "Currently, Ulleung-gun has no ophthalmologist, so even simple examinations must be done on the mainland. We will strive to ensure that Ulleung residents do not experience inconvenience in daily life due to vision problems."
