Launched last September, the project has been implemented in nine provincial regions including Yunnan, Gansu and Hunan. The project carries out eye care education campaigns and optometry health checks for juniors, and those from financially disadvantaged families receive free spectacles and medical assistance for eye diseases when necessary.
