👁️Glaucoma often runs in families, but blindness doesn’t have to. 💪
Dr. Gaurav Luthra highlights the importance of screening for family members of glaucoma patients, because early detection can save sight. 🌿💙
We’re proud to launch the Family Glaucoma Screening Program, started on 9th November at Drishti Eye Institute, in celebration of 25 years of Uttarakhand statehood — protecting vision, one family at a time. 🏥✨

👁️ ग्लूकोमा अक्सर परिवारों में पाया जाता है, लेकिन अंधापन ज़रूरी नहीं है। 💪
डॉ. गौरव लूथरा ग्लूकोमा रोगियों के परिवार के सदस्यों की जाँच के महत्व पर प्रकाश डालते हैं, क्योंकि समय पर पहचान ही दृष्टि को बचा सकती है। 🌿💙
हमें गर्व है कि 9 नवम्बर को उत्तराखंड राज्य स्थापना दिवस के अवसर पर दृष्टि आई इंस्टिट्यूट में फैमिली ग्लूकोमा स्क्रीनिंग प्रोग्राम की शुरुआत की गई — ताकि हर परिवार की दृष्टि बनी रहे सुरक्षित। 🏥✨
