Comprehensive Eye Screening & Diagnosis
As part of the initiative, free eye screening camps were organized to identify vision-related problems at an early stage. These camps included detailed eye examinations, vision testing, and clinical assessments to detect conditions such as refractive errors, cataracts, and other eye disorders. Early diagnosis played a crucial role in preventing further vision loss and enabling timely treatment.
Cataract Surgery & Medical Intervention
For individuals diagnosed with cataracts, free cataract surgeries were provided to restore vision and improve daily functioning. The surgeries were carried out with proper medical supervision and post-operative care, ensuring patient safety and successful recovery. This intervention significantly improved the quality of life for patients who had been struggling with vision impairment.
Impact on Community Health
Through this programme, a total of 272 individuals received essential eye care services, including screenings, treatments, and surgeries. Restoring vision not only enhanced personal independence but also improved social participation, employability, and overall well-being among beneficiaries.
Commitment to Accessible Eye Care
This eye care initiative reflects a strong commitment to delivering accessible and affordable healthcare to rural and marginalized populations. By bringing essential eye care services directly to communities in need, the programme helped raise awareness about eye health, encouraged regular vision check-ups, and contributed to long-term prevention of avoidable blindness.
