EYE-Camp in Aziznagar Village on 30 November 2019
In collaboration with sitaram suvidha, an NGO,
Hyderabad in association with Swrup Eye Centre, Chapel Road, Hyderabad
, the KMR Foundation organized and conducted an Eye Camp on the
30th November, 2019 in Aziznagar village, Moinabad Mandal, R.R.Dt.
Hyderabad.
Around 200 adults of age 40 and above from Aziznagar and surrounding
villages attended by a team of Opticians and an optometrist. The
Aziznagar village students around 45 of grade 10 and with age above 15
were also brought for the Eye-camp—motivated and informed by the
KMRF-team and got tested for their vision. Also present were some
students who have some vision problems.
The advised / diagnosed cases for cataract surgery will be taken to
Swarup Eye Centre, Hyderabad, after fixing up a date with them for the
surgery.
!9 adults /villagers have given their consent to undergo the surgery
and will be taken on the given date by them. It will be a day’s
procedure. The patients admitted will be provided with some light food
before surgery.
They also need to test for HIV, HbsAg and RBS before they admitted
for surgery. Pathlab will be doing the testing and reporting the
findings to KMRF as we have been collaborating with them for the past
3-years for the “DIABETES CARE PROJECT” that is currently running in 4
–villages.
The villagers with vision problem around 40 of them will be supplied with free spectacles on 6th, December, 2019 (FRIDAY) personally by the NGO- Ms, Munmun Gneriwal.
The cases opted for surgery and willing to take it will be taken to Swarup Eye Centre after 11th of December, 2019. They will be staying at the Eye Centre from 9am to 5 pm until the procedure gets over.
They will be transported to and back home by KMRF.
It will not be an exaggeration mentioning that KMRF—team took a task
of convincing each and every advised case for cataract to take
up the surgery as most of them did not have people to go with them or to
give any moral support. As they being senior citizens and aged they
required persistent motivation for encouragement and make them feel
easy without any fear or hesitation.
The report / status on surgery will be updated.
