Cusco, Santiago district, 7 November.
That morning, dozens of elderly people from the Pension 65 programme arrived at the auditorium of the Fe y Alegr\u00eda school, a service point, with the same expectation: to be able to read a letter, a receipt or the label on their medicines again without effort. Through the “\u00a1Qu\u00e9 bien te veo, Per\u00fa!” programme, MSH Peru held an eye health day that benefited more than 300 vulnerable users. <\/p>\n

The campaign consisted of a simple, free visual assessment, in which words and texts were displayed in different sizes to identify difficulties in near vision and determine the need for glasses for close-up vision (presbyopia). As a result of these assessments, reading glasses and UV-protective glasses were provided, which are essential for caring for the visual health of older people. <\/p>\n

The lenses were donated by the international organisation Restoring Vision, while MSH Peru coordinated the partnership between Restoring Vision and the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (Midis) through the Pension 65 programme. This collaboration made it possible to bring specialised eye care services to a population that, in many cases, cannot access them for economic or geographical reasons. <\/p>\n
