The 6th Eye Camp under our 'Blindness Prevention and Vision Care Programme in Northern Bangladesh' took place in the Community Resource Centre, Baluadanga, Dinajpur Sadar, Dinajpur on 29.02.2024.
The camp activities included screening patients for vision-impairing eye conditions, giving prescriptions and advice, data collection, distribution of spectacles, and selecting deserving patients for free Cataract operation.
A total of 143 patients were screened. 42 pairs of corrective lenses were distributed and 12 patients were selected for cataract surgery. The Cataract surgeries took place following the camp. The patients were given a post-operative briefing by the consultant Ophthalmologist and by the nurses.
We are well ahead of our target that we set to cover through 25 eye camps.
