-246 free spectacles to be distributed

COURTS Optical Guyana has launched another corporate initiative, the Courts Optical Brighter View Programme.

Courts Optical, which is only four years old, has made a commitment to transform eye care in Guyana and also help those in need in our communities.
Courts Optical currently offers free comprehensive eye examinations and has also partnered with Courts for a corporate initiative which allows two optometry students at the University of Guyana to win scholarships each year.

Courts said it is with the desire to provide an even greater social impact that the Brighter View Programme was established. Through this programme, Courts Optical will be doing free eye testing at several schools and orphanages across Guyana in order to donate 246 free pairs of spectacles to the students or teachers who may be in need.

Courts Optical will be working with the schools to identify the individuals who are most in need and consent forms will be sent to the parents of the students for approval for eye testing and prescribing of the new glasses. This is only the beginning of a campaign which they hope will be very successful and will be able to grow in the future.

Students of St Roses High School and St. Mary’s Secondary School were the first to receive glasses from courts.
