KINGSTON, Jamaica — Courts Optical has significantly amplified its corporate social responsibility program, Brighter View, to address vision care needs in western Jamaican communities still grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. The initiative specifically targets residents of Westmoreland, St Elizabeth, and St James who continue their recovery journey following the devastating October 2025 hurricane.
The enhanced program offers complimentary eye examinations and prescription glasses to qualified individuals, aiming to restore both visual clarity and personal dignity. Geaton Porter, chain manager for Courts Optical, emphasized the program’s community-driven approach: “We recognized that many western families remain in recovery mode and might deprioritize vision care. Through Brighter View, we’re demonstrating our commitment by saying, ‘We see you, and we’re here to help.’”
Scheduled activations will occur at three western Jamaican locations:
– February 10: Courts Optical Bogue, Montego Bay (9:30 AM – 6:00 PM)
– February 17: Courts Optical Santa Cruz (9:00 AM – 5:30 PM)
– February 24: Courts Optical Savanna-la-Mar (9:00 AM – 5:30 PM)
Eligible participants can secure appointments using promo code #BView via telephone or WhatsApp messaging. Contact numbers include: 876-474-6363 (Bogue), 876-474-5865 (Santa Cruz), and 876-474-5765 (Savanna-la-Mar). Porter encouraged community-wide participation: “We urge people to book appointments not just for themselves but also share this opportunity with neighbors and loved ones. Collectively, we can bring clearer vision to those most affected.”
