Following our great effort of providing free comprehensive eye screening through our World Sight Day awareness campaign for the past 11 years, this year we have launched the 360° Advanced Primary Eye Care (APEC) Campaign to encourage individuals to prioritize their eye health while advocating for accessible, affordable, and available eye care for Malaysians. Focus Point’s 360° APEC is the first line primary vision care and promotes overall eye health in patients of all ages.
Focus Point has been continuously organizing blood donation campaign for more than 10 years. On the 18th of February 2023, we had a Focus Point Blood Donation Drive, an initiative by Focus Point Caring Hearts Charity Foundation. We collaborated with St. John Ambulans Malaysia - Kawasan Selangor Tengah Utara - SJAM KSTU, and it was held at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara.
According to the Malaysian Optical Council 2022, the Optometrist-to-population ratio is 1 to 15,147. Therefore, Focus Point as Malaysia's leading optical chain company, we understand the importance of nurturing Optometrists and the crucial role of registered and qualified Optometrists. We are honored to be able to collaborate with UCSI University by offering an interest-free student loan to undergraduates pursuing Bachelor of Optometry.
In conjunction with World Sight Day 2022, we are advocating eye health and the importance of caring for sight via a series of CSR initiatives and activities which kicked off starting October month. The campaign, which encompasses various initiatives aims to bring about awareness on the importance of eye health and to make access to sight available to the public.
