Eye Screening Drive Launched in Varanasi
A new eye screening campaign was started in Varanasi to help adults and schoolchildren in rural areas.
The India Vision Institute and CreditAccess India Foundation are working together to bring eye care services closer to communities and classrooms.
This will help find and fix vision problems early, which can make learning and work easier.
The campaign will work with local people to make sure everyone gets the care they need.
The goal is to prevent vision problems that could have been avoided.
A vision screening campaign targeting adults and schoolchildren in rural areas was launched in Varanasi on January 31.
The initiative is being implemented by the India Vision Institute (IVI) in partnership with CreditAccess India Foundation.
The campaign aims to expand access to primary eye care and facilitate early detection of vision problems.
Timely primary eye care interventions can improve learning outcomes and productivity by addressing uncorrected refractive errors.
The campaign will work with local stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery of screenings and continuity of care.
