Standard Chartered Bank
reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the increasing risk of Glaucoma
related blindness in the country by unveiling the Standard Chartered
Bank Glaucoma Center at the Panadura Gift of Sight Hospital. The
Glaucoma Center houses equipment previously donated by the Bank, such as
the Visual Field Recorder which helps to identify the gradual reduction
in the angle of vision caused by Glaucoma. The center will provide free
testing for those who cannot afford the testing required for the early
detection of the blinding disease.
"The establishment of this Glaucoma Center is a testament to our
commitment to irradiating curable blindness from Sri Lanka and is also a
symbol of our successful partnership with the Lions Gift of Sight which
has been forged over the years to yield meaningful results for the
communities we live in.," said Clive Haswell, CEO, Standard Chartered
Bank when declaring the center opened.
