SINGAPORE VISIONCARE PROGRAMME

Singapore VisionCare ProgrammeSWA in collaboration with other voluntary bodies: the National Safety Council, the Association for the Visually Handicapped, NTUC and the Singapore National Eye Centre founded the Singapore VisionCare Programme(SVP). Mr. Yeo Cheow Tong, then Acting Minister for Health, launched the Singapore VisionCare Programme on 22nd April 1990. Since then, many of our members have assiduously sacrificed their week-ends to run this programme.
The main objectives of the programme are:
  1. Public education on the prevention of blindness, eye-care, eye diseases and treatment available
  2. To deliver Eye Care Services to the Community in terms of detecting any eye disorders and improving vision and therefore quality of life.
  3. To reach out to the elderly, volunteer doctors ( from the Singapore National Eye Centre(SNEC); National University Hospital(NUH); Tan Tock Seng Hospital and those in private practice; and members of SWA conduct eye screening sessions on Sundays in partnership with Community Clubs; Old Folks’ Homes, mosques - for citizens above the age of 40 to detect any such eye problems.
The SVP is one of the on-going projects of SWA.
