What has been done…
SRMC has in the past conducted many eye camps with the primary objective
of identifying people with cataract blindness and thereafter, providing
free service by performing corrective surgeries and treatment at the
hospital. Many senior citizens who have lost their sight either partially
or completely due to cataract are able to see today because of SRMC.
Camps conducted during the month of July and August 2004:
25th July - Arani (48 patients)
8th August - Pallikaranai (10 patients)
15th August - Villivakkam (25 patients)
31st August - Thailavam (20 patients)
These surgeries are funded by the Central
Government under DBSC scheme.
The Need…
With a view of helping more people, SRMC is now looking for volunteers
both as organizations and as individuals to help conduct eye check-up
camps in their locales so that people with cataract blindness can
be screened and brought to SRMC
for free surgery.
