Outreach At Abrepo Collaboration with Friends Eye (Pediatrics)
Everyone can make you smile but not everyone can make you happy, we can.
It is imperative that as a parent you get your ward’s eyes checked for him or her as he grows up. Within the first 6 months of giving birth you should send you baby to the doctor, as he grows be sure to take him to see the optometrist at least once every year, this way any abnormalities can be detected and treated earlier. Also refractive errors which actually start to manifest during the preschool age would be caught quickly and sorted out.
You end up with a brilliant ward with an excellent vision. It may surprise how much our vision and the our ocular appearance have lots of effects on us as we grow. Psychologically and Educationally most importantly, research has even shown that females with tropia which hasn’t been corrected grow up with low self esteem.
Whatever you believe with feelings become a reality
What is @bettervision about?

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

To enlighten the majority of the Ghanaian population about the importance of proper visual care.
To conscientize people on the need for regular eye checks
To get more people to have their wards screened within the Critical periods of a Child’s Vision Development; thus from ages 3 to till about 10 years.
To help the blind and people with low vision live a better life within the society through education of the general public to stop stigmatization.
