Bengaluru Cyclothon Raises Cataract Awareness in India

Bengaluru Cyclothon Raises Cataract Awareness in India

Imagine your eye has a lens like a camera.

A cataract happens when that lens gets cloudy, making it hard to see.

In India, cataracts cause a lot of blindness, but it's a problem that can often be fixed!

A hospital organized a bike ride to tell people about cataracts and how to get help.

The goal is to get people to check their eyes regularly and get treatment early if they need it.

There are organizations that help pay for eye surgeries.

Early treatment prevents blindness.

Getting your eyes checked helps you see better.
