Health Minister launches World Sight Day event
On World Sight Day, Minister of Health Dr. Ahmad Al-Awadi inaugurated the Jaber Al-Ahmad Hospital event aimed at raising public awareness about the importance of early eye examinations for preventing eye diseases. The event included comprehensive eye tests, including assessments of vision, intraocular pressure, and the retina, conducted under the supervision of specialized medical staff. The goal was to facilitate early detection of vision problems and the prompt diagnosis of conditions such as glaucoma and retinopathy. The Ministry emphasized the importance of regular check-ups, especially for those over the age of forty, and highlighted the availability of modern equipment for non-contact eye examinations. Additionally, a digital linkage project for screening cameras was introduced to accelerate diagnostic results and reduce waiting times. This initiative is part of broader programs aimed at promoting early detection of common diseases and reducing health complications, with future events planned to raise awareness about other conditions such as keratoconus.
