Outreach activities for free eye health surgical camps are comprehensive community-based initiatives designed to bring eye care services to underserved, rural, or remote populations. These programs aim to reduce preventable blindness—primarily caused by cataracts—by bridging the gap between Nava Dristi Eye Hospital and patients.
Key Outreach Activities Include:
- Temporary OT Setup: Establishing temporary Operating Theaters (OT) in remote schools, community halls, or local clinics to perform surgeries directly in the community.
- Cataract Surgeries: Conducting small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) with IOL implantation on-site.
- Follow-up Care: Providing post-operative medication, dark glasses, and instructions, with follow-up appointments scheduled at the site or nearby centers.
