China's Chongyang Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, fell on Sunday this year. In the lead-up to the traditional festival, Emin County in Tacheng Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, provided free postoperative follow-up services and community eye-care education for elderly cataract patients through its sight-restoration program.

The county screened 1,015 people and provided free cataract surgery to 416 eligible residents from different ethnic groups. The program offers a comprehensive package of public-welfare services, covering screening, diagnosis, surgery and postoperative follow-up, to help protect the eye health of elderly residents.
