The company highlighted that community outreach and improving access to vision screenings are core components of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. EyeCare reaffirmed its commitment to providing equitable, high-quality eye care and ensuring that timely professional advice is available to all.

EyeCare further noted that promoting eye health awareness and emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups will remain a sustainable focus of its CSR activities.
