Eye Treatment and Caring Program
Sight impairment can be reduced by early treatment, such as cataract surgery or treatment. Vitamin-A can protect against night blindness. Cornea transplantation can save a person’s vision. Blindness significantly impacts rural populations due to a lack of awareness. Someone’s visual sight could only be recovered if an initial initiative exists. SANGRAM is looking towards the community regarding eye care, particularly for the elderly. Ninety percent of the total people with blindness live in LDCs. Most individuals in rural areas are ignorant that eye therapy is neither difficult nor expensive but relatively simple and close to their homes. A summary of the organization’s eye care assistance is mentioned as follows.
