Pupils get free eye tests
Story 1
The Black Coffee Foundation’s Gift of Sight programme gets underway today, with over 700 pupils at Thabisang Primary School in Soweto, receiving free vision screenings.
The initiative provides eye testing for schoolchildren to identify vision problems that can affect learning.
Learners who need further care will be referred for full eye examinations, with free spectacles provided during follow-up visits.
The programme will expand to schools in other provinces later this year in partnership with eye-care organisations and sponsors.
