Dehradun. SGRR (PG) College, Patel Nagar Dehradun, “Seva Diwas” was observed with a Free Health Checkup Fair by Umesh Aggarwal Foundation and Krishna Medical Centre. A team of Eye specialists and Sr Optometrists was deployed by Drishti Eye Institute to organize a screening camp for the people of all walks of life.
The objective of organizing the camp was to reach out to those people who seek expert consultation for their eyes but have been avoiding because of the fear of infection during the Pandemic and especially to those who cannot afford quality eye care.
Approximately 190 people were screened, and out of these 15 were diagnosed with Cataract who will be further tested and Cataract surgery will be planned at Drishti Eye Institute, 16 Subhash Road, Astley Hall Centre with all the modern amenities absolutely free.
Drishti Foundation with its Social Outreach program frequently organizes screening camps & awareness activities in the remote areas of Doon Valley. The objective of these activities is to spread the message to look out for early signs of Cataract & Glaucoma and other irreversible eye diseases which can lead to blindness and the importance of annual eye screening with timely management of the disease.
