LoveWorld Medicaid, a Christ Embassy (LoveWorld) health charity, reported giving free eye care to more than 2,500 people in Abule Egba, Ojodu Berger and Ikorodu, Lagos State, under its Vision 10,000 initiative in 2026.

LoveWorld Medicaid is a health charity in the LoveWorld (Christ Embassy) network of charities, working with the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International. Its Vision 10,000 initiative offers free eye care to people who cannot afford it.

In October 2026, ThisDay and Vanguard published the organisation's report of a Vision 10,000 outreach in three Lagos State communities: Abule Egba, Ojodu Berger and Ikorodu. It said volunteer medical teams gave more than 2,500 people free eye screening and consultations, corrective surgery for treatable conditions, prescription glasses and medication.

The figure counts everyone who received care at the outreach, not surgeries. The report did not give the number of operations or the exact dates of the outreach. Both newspapers carried the same text, so this is the charity's own account rather than independent reporting.
