Posco Daewoo, the trading arm of the South Korean steel giant Posco, provided medical services for visually impaired patients in Uzbekistan, together with Vision Care, for nine days last week, the company said Sunday.
Through the medial camp, some 1,800 local patients were treated free of charge, including 150 patients who received cataract surgeries and 700 people who were provided with glasses.
Since 2014, the company has treated some 10,000 locals, who tend to suffer visual impairments due to the dry desert weather and strong ultraviolet rays, Posco Daewoo said, adding that some 20 employees volunteer annually as translators and assistants.
