Free Eye Screening Camp
Apex International Public School organised a Free Eye Screening Camp on 25th August 2026 — a landmark initiative that underscores the school's deep commitment to the holistic health and well-being of every student.
The camp was organised by Dr. Mahinder and his expert team from Resight Vision Foundation, Arora Eye Hospital, Jalandhar under the able guidance of Principal Ms. Shallu Gupta and the dedicated members of the Health and Wellness Club. Their combined effort brought specialised eye care right to the school campus, ensuring that no student was left without the benefit of a professional eye examination.
About the Eye Screening Camp
A team of experienced doctors comprehensively screened students from pre-primary to senior secondary classes for vision-related problems. The examination covered a wide range of common eye conditions, ensuring early detection and timely intervention.
Students were screened for vision issues including:
- Myopia — Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
- Hypermetropia — Difficulty seeing close objects clearly
- Colour Blindness — Difficulty distinguishing between certain colours
- Eye Strain — Common among students spending long hours studying or on screens
Students identified as requiring spectacles or further treatment were individually counselled, and their parents were duly informed for timely follow-up with an eye specialist. This proactive approach ensures that no child's vision issue goes unnoticed or untreated during their formative learning years.
Dr. Mahinder delivered a highly informative session on essential eye care tips for students, covering:
- Maintaining correct reading posture to reduce eye strain
- Reducing unnecessary and excessive screen time
- Importance of a healthy, balanced diet rich in Vitamin A for good vision
- Always washing hands before touching the eyes to prevent infections
Appreciation & Gratitude
School Chairman Sardar Ravinder Singh Dosanjh and Principal Ms. Shallu Gupta warmly thanked and appreciated the dedicated team of doctors from Arora Eye Hospital, Jalandhar for their selfless service in promoting healthy vision and creating meaningful eye health awareness among our staff and students.
Initiatives like these reflect Apex International's unwavering commitment to the overall development and well-being of every student — because a healthy child is a happy learner.
