‘Many people find it difficult to access medical services such as eye-care, due to the prohibitive costs,’ Henrietta Foulds, manager of the Central Sydney Benevolent Society Child Protection Service, Scarba said.
‘As a result, some people can go years without knowing if there is a problem with their vision.
If problems aren’t picked up early enough, children may find learning difficult and it can have a significant impact on their time at school.’
