This week, independent optometrists across the country will be offering the six-point check free of charge, or at a nominal cost, and giving help and advice about children's eyecare.
The charity also works strategically, lobbying government officials for the inclusion of visually impaired people in schools and workplaces, and to give more prominence to eyecare.
There are various other benefits some policies offer like reimbursement of maternity expenses coverage, eyecare expenses, health checkup, dental expenses etc. subject to some conditions.
