The Korean Youth Baseball Federation (President Lee Sang-geun) announced on the 7th that it has partnered with Healing Eye Clinic (CEO Kim Sun-young), a specialized eye hospital, to promote eye health and strengthen medical support for youth baseball players.

On this day, the federation signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Healing Eye Clinic to establish systematic eye health management and medical support for youth players and their families. Through this agreement, Healing Eye Clinic will set up a system for ophthalmic examinations and clinical support targeting players, coaches, and family members affiliated with the federation, and plans to provide specialized ophthalmic medical services necessary for growing athletes.

A federation official explained the background of the agreement by stating, "Baseball is a sport that requires precise judgment of fast-moving balls, so visual acuity, depth perception, and the ability to identify moving objects are directly linked to performance." The official added, "Especially, accurate visual function plays an important role not only in improving batting and fielding skills but also in preventing injuries during games."

Healing Eye Clinic is a specialized medical institution with expertise in ophthalmic treatment areas including vision correction surgery, cataracts, presbyopia, dry eye syndrome, LASIK, LASEK, and SMILE. Dr. Kim Seon-yeong (CEO), an ophthalmologist with 16 years of experience and formerly a professor at the Department of Cornea and Cataract at Catholic University of Korea, shares correct eye health information through the YouTube channel 'Eye Clinic Sister'.

Lee Sang-geun, President of the Korean Youth Baseball Federation, said, "In baseball, eyes are as important as another skill." He added, "Through this agreement, we will expand medical support to allow youth players to focus on training in a healthier environment and strive further to improve player welfare."

Dr. Kim Seon-yeong (CEO) stated, "Eye health during the growing years has a significant impact on lifelong vision," and pledged, "We will actively provide specialized medical services to help youth players grow their dreams with healthy vision alongside the Korean Youth Baseball Federation."

The federation shared that it is building cooperative systems with various specialized institutions to improve the health and welfare of youth players and their families, and plans to continuously expand support projects to create a safer and healthier sports environment.
