On the morning of February 28, 2025, the atmosphere at Viet Nga International Eye Hospital in Hai Phong was filled with a special spirit. The “Bright Eyes for the Community” program officially took place, offering free eye exams to 60 policy beneficiaries in Vinh Niem Ward. This meaningful event continues the hospital’s long-standing tradition of community outreach.

The doctors’ presence not only provided professional expertise but also brought reassurance and care to the patients. Thanks to an experienced medical team, the event took place in a warm, professional, and friendly atmosphere.
Free Screening Procedures
Attendees underwent a full set of comprehensive eye examinations:
| Examination Activity | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Visual Acuity Test | Assess near and far vision levels |
| Refractive Error Check | Detect myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism |
| Fundus Examination | Screen for retinal and macular diseases |
| Intraocular Pressure Test | Early detection of glaucoma risk (glaucoma) |
| Vision Counseling and Eye Care Advice | Provide care guidance tailored to age and eye condition |
After each examination step, doctors clearly explained the patient’s current condition and advised on at-home care. This was particularly valuable for elderly participants, helping detect early signs of eye conditions and ensure timely treatment. Many were surprised by the thorough and professional care, some for the first time.
Compassion Reflected in Every Action
Patients with abnormal findings were proactively referred for further monitoring at the hospital. The sincerity and thoughtful approach of the medical team moved many elderly attendees. The program also welcomed disadvantaged adults who had never accessed proper eye care before.
