FREE RETINA & CATARACT TREATMENT

Diabetes affects the small vessels of the body and it can cause damage to the retina (the seeing part in the back of the eye) that, if not treated, can result in blindness. To prevent this, periodic retinal examination is necessary. When a problem (retinopathy, cataract or glaucoma) is found, starting treatment without delay can save vision. Your sponsorship of eye screening, retinopathy, cataract or glaucoma treatment will help us save the vision of the person with diabetes.

Patients with diabetes develop cataract at a younger age and they need to be treated with care because the surgery involves the administration of steroids and insertion of a foreign body (lens). Cataract surgery for a person with diabetes has to be conducted under a controlled environment with extra precautions, and hence is best done in specialized centres such as ours so as to ensure the best outcomes. You can sponsor cataract surgery for a needy person with diabetes and help us save the patient from blindness.
