Vision care is all about taking good care of your eye sight which in return would help establish good vision. There are many kinds of eye ailments. While some are common and can be treated, others can prove to be sight-threatening and may need extra attention. Timely consultation is very important however this goes neglected either due to sheer ignorance or because people do not have the money to go consult an optician or an Opthamologist.
Short and long sightedness
Conditions like short sightedness (myopia) and long sightedness (hypermetropia) can be overcome by wearing glasses. Both of these conditions are usually caused when the cornea and lens do not focus properly on the retina. While a short-sighted person’s near vision may be clear, but distant objects appear to be blurred. A long-sighted person’s distant vision is clear, but objects nearby appear out of focus. This usually happens when the eyeball is too short or the lens too thin, causing the image to focus behind the retina.
Cataract, trachoma, glaucoma and river blindness
Certain sight-threatening conditions at times are not so easily corrected. These include cataract, trachoma, glaucoma and river blindness. If not treated on time can cause complete blindness. We understand how costly treatments can be and that is why with help of your donation, we offer free of cost treatment to the poor and marginalised section of the society.
