P - Prevention Mission (Vision Guardian Angels Program, Community Eye Screening Programs)

We organise free eye screenings for the public in various places such as schools, community center, shopping malls, orphanages, nursing homes and etc. We have uncovered as many as 600 glaucoma and cataract cases which otherwise would not be detected and will continue to impair the patient’s vision.

Vision Guardian Angels is an on-going series of monthly talks to train parents, teachers and guardians to detect eye abnormalities in children. Many children suffer their eye diseases in silence due to the lack of comparison of what normal vision supposed to be. Most also find it difficult to explain their symptoms. That‘s why guardians are taught the signs and symptoms to spot vision problem so it can be corrected soonest possible.

A - Awareness Mission (Awareness Campaigns and Events)

A big part of our mission is in the form of awareness building. Individuals need to know that annual eye check is as important as an annual body check. Many people go through more dental check-ups than eye checks. Through SOS’ events and campaigns, we raise awareness on the importance of eye checks. This will greatly reduce the possibility of unnecessary blindness.

T - Tabulation Mission (Set up eye health data bank for research & development)

H - Help Mission (Help those in need)

At SOSM, we also provide free eye treatment for those in need. The treatment of eye diseases are notinexpensive and therefore not everyone can afford them. Through many charitable companies and medical practitioners, SOS has been able to help the underprivileged to solicit free eye treatments. Fund raising is also done to provide free vision improvement aids i.e. surgeries, spectacles, eye drops, counselling, visually-impaired job skills training, etc.
