In order to vigorously promote the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and to improve the health awareness of the elderly to use their eyes scientifically and prevent diseases, on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital (General Hospital) recently launched a series of activities "Our Festival·Double Ninth Festival-Double Ninth Festival Caring for Eye Health" with the Hualian Community New Era Civilization Practice Station in Jiangbei District, Chongqing.

It is understood that this event was held at Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital (General Hospital). Under the leadership of volunteers from Hualian Community New Era Civilization Practice Station and staff of Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital (General Hospital), the elderly in the jurisdiction visited the hospital's science popularization base. Ophthalmologists conducted eye health knowledge education for everyone, and provided easy-to-understand detailed explanations of several common eye diseases in the elderly through graphic explanations, on-site displays, and video combinations, so that the elderly on the scene could understand more clearly how to protect and prevent their eyes health in the future, and improve everyone's awareness of preventing eye health.

"The experts teach us on the spot how to protect our eyes and what foods are good for our eyes. It is a very beneficial activity." said Teacher Zhao, 66 years old and myopic for many years. During the event, the staff of the hospital also guided everyone to visit the basic eye disease case room, the usually reasonable diet room, the science laboratory, etc. in the science popularization base, allowing everyone to experience an immersive lecture on popularizing eye health knowledge, which was praised and recognized by everyone.

"So my blurred eyes are caused by cataract ? I found the reason now." "That's right, I've been crying my eyes recently, and I haven't seen them. This time I can check it..." said elderly friends one after another. At the same time, the hospital carried out free medical consultation activities for everyone, and conducted free vision tests, slit lamp examinations, computer optometry, screening for eye-related eye diseases such as senile cataracts, glaucoma and for elderly friends.

community elderly people said that through this eye disease knowledge education, visiting science popularization bases, and free eye clinic activities, not only did they enhance everyone's awareness of eye health protection, but they also felt the warmth and care of society for them.
