Adopt Eye Project
Childhood is a phase in a person’s life when everything we see or
experience has a long-lasting effect on how we perceive our
surroundings, and the most important tool which helps this process are
our eyes, they enable us to be creative and experimental. But a lot of
the times, many don’t get the chance to do so, because their health is
compromised.
Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or
blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that
could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. A home to nearly
407 million children below the age of 16 years, which accounts for 40%
of its population, India has 3,20,000 blind children. One of the
leading causes of this astounding number is late detection and
expensive nature of treatments and surgeries. Additionally, it
requires a unique set of skills to perform eye surgery on a child and
it is also more expensive than it is for adults.
AKBT a CSR wing of Rasna & Raghudeep Eye Hospital, a Gujarat based a tertiary eye care centre, is
known for its quality eye care and the many eye camps they conduct
across the globe to cure people with eye disorders. Be an angel is one
such initiative of AKBT & Raghudeep Eye Hospital which focuses on the eye
health of young children who are in dire need of good eye care and
envisions a future where no child should suffer from blindness because
of preventable reasons. The main aim of the “Be an Angel” program is
to:
1. Create awareness about paediatric cataract,
2. Screen children,
3. Cure paediatric cataracts.
Sharing the same passion with AKBT & REH for child health, we collaborated
AKBT & REH to make sure no child goes untreated, we set a goal to do our
bit for the children by contributing for the children’s eye care, so
that every child can see a bright future.
