ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, a renowned international research-based pharmaceutical organization specializing in Ophthalmology, ENT, and Dermatology medicine, successfully conducted a Myopia Awareness Program as part of the Wellness Week celebration at Mount Litera School International (MLSI), located in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. The program aimed to educate and raise awareness about myopia among students.

ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, with over four decades of pharmaceutical expertise, is committed to promoting eye health and preventing vision-related issues. Recognizing the importance of early intervention and education in addressing myopia, the organization took the initiative to collaborate with MLSI and conducted an informative session for 108 students, aged 11 to 15 years.

The event commenced on 5th June 2023, from 1.30 - 2.30 pm, at the MLSI campus. The program featured a captivating talk on Myopia Awareness, delivered by a prominent pediatric ophthalmologist from the city, Dr. Neepa Thaker Dave along with Mr. Nikkhil K Masurkar, CEO of ENTOD Pharmaceuticals and Mrs Anjula Masurkar, Clinical Director at ENTOD Pharmaceuticals. The program enlightened the students about the causes, symptoms, and preventive measures related to myopia, emphasizing the significance of regular eye check-ups and healthy eye habits.

Mr. Nikkhil K Masurkar, the CEO of ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, expressed his delight at being able to contribute to the wellness of MLSI students. He stated, "Preventing myopia starts with awareness and proactive measures. By educating students about the importance of regular eye check-ups and healthy eye habits, we can empower them to take control of their eye health. Our collaboration with MLSI for this program reinforces our commitment to fostering a generation that prioritizes early detection and prevention of myopia, ultimately leading to better vision and overall well-being."

Dr. Neepa Thaker Dave, the pediatric ophthalmologist who delivered the talk, highlighted the importance of early detection and timely intervention. "Myopia has become increasingly prevalent among children, and it is crucial to address this issue promptly. By creating awareness at a young age, we can help prevent the progression of myopia and its associated complications. Regular eye check-ups, limited screen time, and outdoor activities play a vital role in maintaining healthy vision," Dr. Dave emphasized.

The Clinical Director of ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, Mrs Anjula Masurkar further added that "These students are tomorrow’s future and can contribute extensively if equipped with the right knowledge to further strengthen Myopia Awareness. Entod Pharmaceuticals is in the process of collaborating with other schools to replicate similar activities."
