Eye Q Optical has continued its commitment to improving ocular health by supporting the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH) in its glaucoma screening initiative, an ongoing partnership that began in 2019. The initiative was created to raise awareness about the disease and provide screenings to healthcare workers, who, due to their demanding roles and responsibilities in caring for others, sometimes neglect their own health. This year, the screening programme was conducted on World Sight Day (October 10), where staff members had the opportunity to get screened for glaucoma, a sight-threatening condition that disproportionately affects individuals of African descent.
