明基材料發起「美若康視光希望工程」，幫助全台經濟弱勢孩童免費配眼鏡 (BenQ Materials helps children from low-income families with free glasses)

明基材料發起「美若康視光希望工程」，攜手家扶基金會，提供有視力矯正需求的經濟弱勢孩童免費配鏡服務。讓孩童擁有合適且正確度數的眼鏡，度過學習成長階段。

據家扶基金會統計，目前迫切需要進行配鏡的孩童，全台就有一千多名。本次也邀請到小林眼鏡，提供全台包括澎湖228家小林門市提供配鏡服務，一同關懷經濟弱勢學童的視力健康。
明基材料率先舉辦員工一日所得募款，作為「美若康視光希望工程」首筆善款；每銷售美若康隱形眼鏡產品一盒，就捐出售價1%來幫助孩童。期望集結大家的力量一同守護經濟弱勢孩童的靈魂之窗，實質提供視力健康上的幫助。

BenQ Materials has started a program in conjunction with the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families to provide glasses to children from low-income families who need them. Giving the children eyeglasses that fit them and correct their vision will help them as they grow and learn.

According to figures from the Fund, there are more than 1000 children in Taiwan who are in urgent need of corrective eyeglasses. For the new program, we recruited Kobayashi Optical to supply vision testing and optician services for the program at 228 of its outlets throughout Taiwan including Penghu, as we together showed our concern for the eye health of economically disadvantaged schoolchildren.

BenQ Materials first staged a fundraising effort asking employees to donate one day’s income as initial seed money for the program. For each package of Miacare contact lenses sold, BenQ materials donates 1% of the retail price to aid children. Our hope is that by coordinating everybody’s efforts, we can help ensure a bright future for economically disadvantaged children, providing concrete assistance to improve their vision.
