Context
The prevalence of myopia is high in Hong Kong as 62% of Hong Kong school children need spectacle correction before age 12. Spectacles play an effective role in improving the visual performance in early childhood and for the visually impaired children. Their social and educational integrations can be maximized by early treatment and appropriate spectacle correction.
Supported Project
In 2024-2025, L'OCCITANE Hong Kong supported a project led by the Hong Kong Society for the Blind which focuses on childhood eye care. The HKSB provides early detection of visual defect through outreach screening in order to prevent visual impairment and raise awarenesss of the importance of visual care in early childhood. The program revolves around the visual screening for kids from kindergarten to primary schools, with detailed examination and free glasses for the needy.
