Health Talk at Trinity Methodist Today

In aid of Macular Degeneration Awareness. Month which actually is this month of February and Glaucoma Health Propagation @bettervision will be having a health talk with the congregation of Trinity Methodist Church Kwadaso today.

Purpose of the talk will be to enlighten them on the risk factors of these pathologies and the need to seek regular eye care since none of these conditions have no cure and as such early detection is key to minizing damage qnd loss of sight. This will then be followed with a free eye screening exercise nextweek Sunday, the 17th of February. Thus if your within the vicinity of the exercise that is Kwadaso, we encourage you to come around and get your eyes check.
