The India Vision Institute (IVI) has reached one million school students through its school vision screenings. On Tuesday, at a vision screening camp organised at the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Pulla Avenue, Chennai Mayor Priya Rajan presented corrective spectacles to the one-millionth beneficiary.
IVI Chief Executive Officer Vinod Daniel said that a basic eye test and a simple pair of spectacles can change a child’s day and their future. Over half of the school children that they have screened are girls, he said.
Since 2012, IVI has screened over 1.95 million individuals across 25 States in India, providing free spectacles to those who need them and referrals for further medical care where required, according to a press release.
