An appeal has gone to Ogun State government to consider prioritising eye care services in its health care delivery programmes as most people with eye problems lack financial backing to take care of themselves.
A Consultant Opthalmologist, Oladapo Awodeyin made this known during a free eye care screening and treatment organised for residents of Sagamu.
He urged government at all levels to ensure that proper eye care treatment is available for the people, in order to reduce the increasing number of blind people in the country.
