The Ministry of Health has announced that the distribution of prescription eye-glasses has been extended to this week’s Friday.
The ministry had previously announced that it had just over 500 glasses to distribute with the expectation that this would have been completed over two days; this week’s Monday and Tuesday. But with only two hundred glasses collected over the first two days, the ministry decided to extend the distribution until the end of the week.
Distribution hours are as follows:
Wednesday, October 29: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Thursday, October 30: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Friday, October 31: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
All remaining individuals who were prescribed glasses during the Health Fair held in June 2025 at the Multi-Purpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre are encouraged to visit the Ministry during the stated hours to collect their eyewear.
Persons collecting their glasses are reminded to bring along a valid form of identification.
The Ministry of Health remains committed to ensuring equitable access to healthcare and improving the quality of life for all citizens through ongoing outreach and vision care initiatives.
