Community ophthalmology is an important part of our hospital ethic. We provide services to underserved and underprivileged communities. It involves conducting outreach camps, public awareness programs, and school screening initiatives to detect and treat eye problems early. The camps provide services like refractive error screenings, distribution of spectacles, cataract surgeries, and health education.
By integrating public health principles with ophthalmic expertise, we empower communities with access to early detection, treatment, and awareness, helping reduce avoidable vision loss and improve overall well-being.
They are conducted regularly throughout the year in partnership with local communities and NGOs to provide services to remote and underserved areas and to people in lower socioeconomic strata. Eye camps help to identify and treat eye related issues with a focus on refractive errors and other causes of preventable blindness. The benefits include increased access to eye care for marginalized communities and early detection and treatment of eye problems.
We organize public awareness programs through engaging activities like lectures, walkathons, and mime performances at our hospital and at outreach events. These initiatives educate people about major eye health issues, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, myopia, and the importance of eye donation. Additionally, we emphasize preventive measures and the need for regular eye check-ups to promote overall eye health and wellness.
These programs target schools within the district to identify vision problems in children and provide corrective measures. Children with complex problems are encouraged to visit the hospital for comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
