Loss of sight can be the greatest tragedy next to death, yet hundreds of thousands of people in India are suffering from blindness. Participation by the public is the urgent cry in this mission of restoring vision.

OUTREACH AT ARAVIND

An integral part of AECS is its community outreach programmes which take eye care service to the doorstep of the community. In the year ending March 2013, 2,841 camps were conducted through which 554,413 patients were screened and 90,547 patients underwent surgery.

These camps also serve to educate the local community on eye care. Towards this end, several comprehensive eye care programmes are organised.
