The earlier tomorrow’s Hongkongers start learning about vision, the healthier the eyes of the world will be! To raise awareness of sight-related issues, Orbis has pioneered a dynamic educational campaign for local kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools. In addition to subjects from the World Health Organization (WHO), topics covered include how supporting Orbis will stop needless blindness from destroying lives in the world’s poorest countries.
Eye health education on campus
With the increasing usage of e-learning, children are used to stare at electronic devices for longer time which place an intolerable strain on developing eyes. To improve eye care education amongst kids, Orbis is building sensible eye care habits via interactive and educational games. Let's open children’s eyes to the wonders of the world.
