The project also provided eye check-ups for some 40,000 students at 56 secondary schools and presented 4,000 pairs of spectacles for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Building on the results of the first phase from 2011 to 2013, the extended project will be implemented via the Brien Holden Vision Institute, in Tan Thanh and Chau Duc districts in one year.
The Australian institute will assist eye health communication activities of the Ba Ria – Vung Tau Eye Hospital and help improve the capacity of medical staff.
It will also aid Tan Thanh and Chau Duc in setting up two optical clinics, providing US$62,340 to procure equipment.

Three optical clinics were also established in the districts and have offered services to more than 15,000 people.
