Togo launches eye health campaign to provide screenings and medical lenses

In Togo, the National Eye Health Program (PNSO), with technical and financial support from CBM, launched the ‘Love Your Eyes’ campaign to mark World Sight Day. The initiative aims to improve ocular health through awareness, early screening, and increased access to eye care services.

Between October 5 and 9, 2026, activities included glaucoma awareness and eye disease screening for women in Lomé markets. Additionally, students at Bè-Kilkamé High School underwent screening for refractive errors, with 300 beneficiaries receiving free medical lenses. The campaign targets sensitizing at least 10,000 people and providing cataract and eye disease treatment for 100 patients at the Baguida Ophthalmology Center.
