With the help of volunteers, participants will be able to check their distance acuity, near acuity, colour vision, and 3D vision, and will be provided with a referral to Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai in Dubai Healthcare City for further examinations if needed.

MEHD's CEO and Medical Director, Dr. Chris Canning said, 'Periodic eye examinations are an important part of routine preventive health care. Many eye and vision conditions have limited symptoms, and individuals are often unaware of existing problems. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for maintaining good vision and, when possible, preventing permanent vision loss.

Our Ramadan campaign is part of Moorfields' on-going commitment to raise health care standards across the Emirates in line with the Ministry of Health's vision, and to increase the awareness of the importance of regular eye examinations, ideally every two years.'

The Moorfields Ramadan Kiosk will be located outside Harvey Nichols in Mall of the Emirates, and will be open during the Mall's opening hours.
