Outreach Program

Mobile Eye Camp

This is one of the outreach programs started in 1973 and has been continuing till date. Its aim is to make eye care services accessible to people of remote rural areas of the country. In the eye-camps, patients are treated and advised for various eye ailments as out-patient service, most of the extra-ocular surgeries are performed and the bulk of the surgery is for cataract which are being performed under operating microscope, maintaining all aseptic precautions and with intra-ocular lens implantation.

Children and complicated patients requiring general anaesthesia and/or critical surgeries are referred to the hospital. Around 1000 cataract surgeries are conducted yearly through these mobile eye camps.
