It is then given to an ophthalmologist if he or she has surgery.

He said that the families would pay about one-third of the cost in the second phase and the rest would pay the welfare organization. ؛ The cost of ophthalmology is also free and part of the costs will be covered by welfare if you need glasses or surgery.

He emphasized that families should go to see their child every year; he said, "A child may be examined for one year, but he or she will be lazy the next year, so the child must be examined at the age of three to six years each year." .
