SEGi Optometry Students Partner with Ogawa to Promote Better Vision Awareness

The Faculty of Optometry and Vision Sciences at SEGi University joined hands with Ogawa, a leading wellness brand, to promote eye health through a community-driven Eye Screening Event held on 18 and 19 October 2025 at 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

Bringing together healthcare professionals, students, and members of the public, the event transformed a weekend outing into an opportunity to learn, connect, and care for one of our most vital senses—sight.

Five Optometry students and two lecturers conducted free eye screenings, including visual acuity checks, colour blindness assessments, 3D vision tests, eye muscle evaluations, and dry eye examinations. Participants also received professional guidance and educational materials on maintaining long-term eye health.

For the students, this initiative was more than just clinical practice—it was an exercise in empathy, communication, and community service. By engaging directly with the public, they translated classroom knowledge into real-world impact, demonstrating the value of experiential learning and the importance of service in healthcare.

Ogawa’s participation introduced a holistic perspective to the event, showcasing wellness and eye massage products designed to promote relaxation, enhance circulation, and relieve stress—factors that play a crucial role in protecting overall eye health. Together, the collaboration reflected a shared mission to advance health awareness through education and innovation.

The strong turnout at 1 Utama underscored growing public interest in preventive eye care and the role of technology in health maintenance. Every consultation, every question, and every shared smile contributed to a broader vision—one where eye wellness becomes part of everyday self-care.

This event served as a reminder that education extends far beyond the classroom. It thrives in communities, grows through collaboration, and flourishes when knowledge meets compassion.

This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being
SDG 4 – Quality Education
