FREE EYE CAMP – OUTREACH ACTIVITIES - DR. SURESH EYE HOSPITAL

1. FREE EYE CAMP - ADULT

We organise free eye check up camp for adults in the community (urban & rural) to identify cataract and other eye diseases. We are also providing cataract surgeries for elderly patients free of cost as well as at a subsidized price

2. FREE EYE CAMP - CHILDREN

A child goes blind somewhere in the world every minute, yet much of childhood blindness is preventable. We organize free camps in school to assess refractive error of children and dispense free spectacles, recognition of cataracts and other surgical ailments, which are referred to the hospital. Through these activities we reach out to children to help in their education and day to day activities.

3. Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Camps

Diabetic Retinopathy screening camps are often held in community centres because screening people for this disease requires special medical expertise. Diabetic Retinopathy screening camps are specialized exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. However, while the focus is on detecting diabetic retinopathy before it causes irreversible blindness (and this sometimes means detecting diabetes in patients who don’t know they have it), patients who suffer from other eye disorders will also be referred to our main hospital.

4. Awareness Campaigns

We organize community base awareness campaigns to sensitize different stakeholders on quality eye care service.

We train school teachers on general eye care, vision screening and a proper referral system.

We display Health Education materials in the community to spread awareness on Primary Eye care among the population in general.

Many school kids are facing different eye problems like Refractive Errors, Vitamin A deficiency. Dry Eyes, Weak Eye muscles/nerves, Squint Eyes seasonal allergies like Conjunctivitis etc. Many times these eye problems are not detected. The reason may be that the child does not complaion about the eye problem or the parents have financial issues to treat the child. We Organize free eye check up camps for children in these scholls where they are screened for all types of eye problems. Parents of kids having eye issues are counselled and guided about the case.
