Sending Love & Care: Children with Myopia – Joy of Seeing Campaign Reaches out to SK Parit Mahang in Jeram and SK Bukit Badong in Ijok


Hey All 💙

Do you know that Myopia is an increasingly common condition among children? According to global trends, it is estimated that by 2050, half of the world’s population could be affected and this condition is highly prevalent in Asia. 

Myopia

Although genetics is a crucial factor in developing Myopia, lifestyle also plays an essential factor in the onset of Myopia such as the usage of digital devices for long hours, reading under dim lighting, and the lack of sleep.

And this is why Rohto Eye Care has taken the initiative to raise donations and awareness to support children with Myopia in Malaysia.

According to Lim Mei Yuen, General Manager of Rohto-Mentholatum, the main objective of the Rohto Eye Care ‘Sending Love & Care The Joy of Seeing’ campaign is to help increase awareness of Myopia amongst children and to educate them on ways of taking good care of their eyes. 

“Through this meaningful campaign, Rohto Eye Care will donate 200 pairs of prescriptive glasses to the B40 children. We hope to help them to improve their vision, which will in turn enhance their learning capabilities”, she said.

To make Myopia education more fun at the schools, Rohto Eye Care also incorporated activities such as a blindfold game and art competition, which aimed to remind students about the importance of sight.

One of the students, Nur Damia Habriyah Binti Mohamad Norzaki who was blindfolded during the game said that she understood how losing sight feels and will start taking better care of her eyes.

“I will also be kind and help others who have lost their sight to carry out tasks because it is scary and difficult to do anything when you cannot see,” Habriyah added.

 “We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Rohto Eye Care’s campaign as it helps our students understand the importance of their sight. Moreover, this is the first time that our school was chosen for this program. So we truly appreciate it,” said Pn. Noraliza Binti Ngawam, Headmistress of SK Parit Mahang.
