Every child is a future to this Nation and Vision of life springs from the perfect vision to see this world.
Eye care is taken for granted and most of the children do not even complain that they are not able to see what the teacher writes on the board and starts copying from the child sitting next to them. Most of the children show sudden signs of fall in grades, and parents hardly recognise the problem with their eye sight.
Though there can be parents and children who recognise the core issues of blurred vision, headaches and loss of clarity in sight as eye problems, affordable eye care becomes a distant dream for many of them coming from low income groups. Hence the need arises to identify those in need and support them.. so that every child is able to view this world the way it has to be.
Inner Wheel Club of Madras South was keen to help atleast a section of the society by doing a eye camp with support from Shankar Netralaya Foundation, Pammal, under the able guidance of Dr Adithya and his team of young doctors.
The camp started at 10 am on Wed, 26th June 2013 at Olcott Memorial School, Opp to Shastri Bhavan, Besant Nagar, Chennai-90 , phone no 2415826 and managed to test more than 100 children on the same day. This was one of the last projects completed for the great Golden Jubilee Year 2012-2013 under the able President Rooma Bhowmick and full support from PDCs Shanthi Kannan and Sita Laxminarayana.
A Followup meeting was held in Sep 2013 to provide spectacles sponsored by Rooma during the Presidentship of another able Stalwart Kalarani and support from other members including Renu Bhusan, Kusum Gupta, Kala Rajasekhar, Umasree and team. Children were given specs and training to have good eye care and Dr Sita and Dr Omprakash from Shankar Netralaya, Pammal.
Here are the picture of the Camps held during June and September 2013....
