Many eye diseases can be detected during routine screening like Refractive error, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and keratoconus.
People living in areas with limited access to eye care find it difficult to get a routine screening done and many times early diagnosis of these conditions is not done. This has a huge socioeconomic significance. To cater to the needs of such people, Rotary Club Central Lumbini is partnering with Lumbini Netralaya to provide comprehensive mobile eye screening. The screening will be done in Urban underprivileged areas, Rural Lumbini, and Govt aided schools.The objectives of the project are to:
(I) screening activities in local schools and
community centers and treatment
(II) outreach and education
(IV) assistance in pre-screening and surgery
during cataract surgical campaigns
Total Budget = USD 324,175.25
