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.

Join Our Eye Health Education Platform
Blind children from remote corners of the world’s poorest nations not only lack educational opportunities, they frequently die because they are deprived of the essential nutrients and family care most young Hongkongers take for granted. Orbis is doing its utmost to prevent such tragedies from happening by consolidating ophthalmic medical news and patient stories from both Hong Kong and around the world across its "Orbis Campus" social media platforms. All parents and teachers are welcome to follow us!
