EyeCare 365

EyeCare 365 is free AI-assisted retinal photography for seniors, brought to community halls, schools and centres with Lions clubs and student volunteers.

Why a photograph of the eye matters

Many eye conditions give no warning in their early stages. A photograph of the back of the eye, the retina, can show early signs, and that helps people decide to see a doctor sooner.

So we take the camera to where seniors already are: a community hall, a school, a centre. It is free, it is quick, and nobody has to make a tiring trip.

How the screening works

Four steps, from sitting down to understanding your report.

  1. Step 1

    Sit at the camera

    You sit down and rest your chin on the support. No dilating eye drops are needed.

  2. Step 2

    The camera photographs each eye

    An automatic camera, called a fundus camera, photographs the back of each eye. This takes well under a minute per eye.

  3. Step 3

    The report is ready straight away

    AI-assisted analysis of the photographs produces a risk report straight away.

  4. Step 4

    A volunteer explains the report

    Volunteers explain the report in plain language. Anyone with a flagged finding is advised to see an eye doctor.

  • No eye drops needed
  • Automatic camera
  • Report straight away

Screenings are often paired with blood-pressure and blood-oxygen checks by Lions members or student volunteers.

The AI analysis system we use is certified as a Class III medical device by China’s National Medical Products Administration and carries the EU CE mark.

One day in Macau, in numbers

On 16 May 2026 we held a day of screening in Macau, organised with Lions clubs of Macau and Hong Kong.

Being advised to see an eye doctor is not a diagnosis. It means the report flagged something that an eye doctor should look at.

Young people run the cameras

On a screening day, student volunteers operate the fundus cameras and help explain the reports in plain language. At some screenings they also take blood-pressure and blood-oxygen readings.

On 22 September 2026, at Caritas Ma On Shan Secondary School, a train-the-trainer session taught more than 20 students to operate the fundus camera and to understand its report.

20+

secondary-school students trained to operate the camera

In September 2026 we also trained new volunteers who found us through Time Auction. They learned to operate the equipment and rehearsed a whole screening day, from registration and consent to explaining the report.

Run together with Lions Clubs

We run EyeCare 365 with Lions Clubs International District 303 (Hong Kong and Macao, China) and with local Lions clubs, who invite us station by station.

Important: a screen, not a diagnosis

AI-assisted retinal screening is a risk screen, not a medical diagnosis. It does not replace an examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

If your report flags a finding, we advise you to see an eye doctor. A report that flags nothing is still only a screen, and is no substitute for an eye examination.
