Nagaraju can be able to see better because of your donation

Thank you for gifting a cataract surgery to Nagaraju.

Cataract blindness is very common among poor people living in rural areas. There are no ophthalmologists in the rural areas and because of this reason coupled with poverty several thousands of poor people are remaining blind because of un operated cataracts. To help such people to become active people in the society we have designed community outreach program where we take the eye care to the door steps of the needy and poor in rural and remote areas.

Under this program our medical team visits a place and conducts free eye examinations to all the people attend those screening camps. All minor ailments are provided with treatment there at the camp site. If anyone requires cataract surgery we advise them and if they are willing we perform all the preoperative testing to verify their suitability for cataract surgery. If they are suitable we advise them to opt for cataract surgery and if the patient is willing we provide the transportation to them the same day to come to base hospital for surgery. At the base hospital we provide all the preoperative testing, food, accommodation, medicines during surgery, Intraocular lens, post operative medications and transportation back to their village free of cost to the patient. In addition, we also provide transportation to the two postoperative visits to all the patients.

Kesanakurthy Nagaraju 65 years old living with her husband Apparao in the village Jagannadhapuram. As she was blind in both the eyes due to cataracts she found it was difficult for her to manage her own needs.  Under such conditions she became a burden to her husband and very depressed. Her husband is a farm laborer and couldn’t afford to pay for her cataract surgery. When she attended our free eye screening camp we have identified her and brought her to our hospital for Cataract operations. As she is a poor woman we have performed free Cataract operations for her in both eyes because of your donation.

Thank you Rao, for your kindness. With your donation we restore eye sights to Nagaraju.
