Creating Vision for All: MySPECS School Screening 2025 | GHL VisionFirst

Navigating Challenges to Deliver Sight: Our MySPECS Journey to SK Muhibbah 2025 👓❤️

A VisionFirst Initiative by Guan Ho Leong Optical

Event Date: 17 November 2025
Location: SK Muhibbah, Kuching

The Mission Beyond Maps 🗺️

True to our mission of 'Creating Vision for All Since 1970’, our Guan Ho Leong VisionFirst team embarked on a journey that truly tested our dedication.

Reaching SK Muhibbah presented two challenging routes: a precarious sampan crossing with our delicate equipment, or a longer land route through muddy trails and unexpected construction. Upon arrival, we found the school's entrance under renovation.

Yet, in a heartwarming display of community spirit, local road workers immediately moved heavy machinery to clear our path, while school staff helped unload our gear. This collaboration was a powerful reminder that where geographical barriers exist, our shared commitment builds the bridge. These challenges underscored the very purpose of our work—where access is limited, our determination must be limitless.

Precision Care by Expert Hands 👁️‍🗨️👓

Led by our two senior opticians, our team conducted meticulous refraction examinations from 10:00 to 14:00, delivering life-changing outcomes:

✨ 12 students comprehensively refracted

✨ 12 students approved for fully sponsored spectacles

✨ Multiple complex cases identified and managed with specialist care

Using the precise prescriptions obtained, each student received personalised frame selection, and we are now fabricating their custom spectacles.

"Navigating physical barriers to reach these students made providing professional care particularly meaningful. This embodies why 'Every Pair of Eyes Matters'," noted our senior optician.

This comprehensive process—from precise refraction to custom frame fitting—ensures each student receives optical solutions tailored to their unique visual needs.

Creating Lasting Impact 🔄🌟

All twelve students will receive their custom spectacles through the MySPECS scheme, with annual follow-up examinations planned. This project embodies our core belief: where there's a need for vision care, we will find a way to deliver it.

All student and staff identities have been protected in compliance with privacy regulations.

Together, we're not just correcting vision—we're enabling potential and transforming futures.
