Lifestyle conduct is to blame for the
increased cases of eye disease, this is according to medical experts.
This was disclosed by
Ronald Khisa an eye specialist at an eye camp organized by St. Benedictine Eye
Hospital, Tororo in partnership with Nandala Foundation (NF). The eye camp is
being held at Budadiri Health Centre IV and Buwasa Health Center IV, both in
Sironko District.
According to Khisa,
the number of children being diagnosed with sight problem is increasing and
this is as a result of spending long hours on computers, smart phones and
television. Khisa has asked parents to restrict the time children spend using
such electronic gadgets.

Relations Officer for the Nandala Foundation says they partnered with St.
Benedictine Eye Hospital in organizing the eye camp as a way of giving back to
the community. Masolo has urged the community to embrace the camp for free eye
checkup and treatment.

the people who turned up for the camp at Budadiri Health Centre IV expressed
happiness with the camp urging other people to embrace it.
