There were 97 participants in the activity where 27.84% were elderly. The method includes counseling, examination and consultation on the results of eye refraction tests and the distribution of eye drops. Participants who need glasses are given free reading glasses. The results of the refractive test of the right and left eyes showed that 45.36% had a brittle eye lens, where 32.98% of them were recommended for cataract surgery.
