Eye
Camps
It is estimated that over 30 million people in
India suffer from various eye ailments. Government
agencies alone cannot completely handle this gigantic
problem. Sri Vivekananda Sevashrama has come forward to
do its mite in this field. Already the Sevashrama has
conducted 15
eye operation camps in various parts of Karnataka
with the help of local organisations. Over 380 cataract operations have been conducted so far.
.A band of eye surgeons
and eminent opthalmologists headed by Dr.
C.R.Tirumalachar, Former Director, Regional Institute of
Ophthalmology, and Former Director of Medical education,
Karnataka are rendering free service in this
work.
