A free eye check-up camp was organized at Government Higher Secondary School – Sewna, Chenani to support better eye care for students and the local community. The camp was conducted by KLSM ROTARY Eye & ENT Hospital in collaboration with Shrimad Rajchandra Adhyatmik Satsang Sadhna Kendra (SRAASK) under the Vision Care Project.
A total of 422 people were screened during the camp, including both school children and residents from nearby areas. Out of these, 119 people were found to have refractive errors (poor eyesight), and 17 patients were identified with cataracts. As part of the service, 90 free near vision spectacles were given to those who needed them.
This effort helped many individuals who were unaware of their vision problems. Several children received their first eye check-up through this camp. Those with cataracts were advised for further treatment.
Mr. Ujjay Bhattacharya (SRASSK, Vision Care Project) was the chief guest during the eye screening camp. The camp was attended and supported by Rtn. Dwarka Nath Sharma, Rtn. Kamal Kishore Gupta, Rtn. Puram Lal Sharma, Rtn. Rajendra Sanson, Sh. Ashok Sharma and Shri Sanjay Sharma (Principal of the Govt. HS School, Sewna). Their presence showed strong community support.
The camp was managed by the Project Team of KLSM Rotary Eye & ENT Hospital Udhampur. The school staff and local people also helped to make the camp a success. This eye camp helped in spreading awareness about eye health and made basic vision care accessible to many people. The organizers plan to hold more such camps in nearby areas in the future. KLSM ROTARY Eye & ENT Hospital Udhampur remains committed to serving the community and providing better health services to those who need them most.
