Prakash Eye Welfare Society

The Prakash Eye Welfare Society was established and registered (registration no 957/2007-2008) in 2007 as an initiative to make available modern, state-of-the-art ophthalmology to the poor, the downtrodden and the sidelined of society. With this aim in mind we have strived to make our services at par with those of the world without once forgetting the needs of the less fortunate in our society. To accomplish this goal, we have set up numerous camps for diagnostic and surgical care of urban and rural poor with the collaboration of various NGOs. Regular eye check- ups of school children are organized at schools in the city as well as surrounding rural areas. Besides this we have also tried to spread the ‘light’ of knowledge by organizing camps and seminars in the city to enlighten patients about day to day eye care for everyone and in particular, the risks and responsibilities of diabetics with respect to their eyes. We have also made available literature about eye safety and common eye ailments in the regional language. To all we have strived to offer the highest level of diagnostic and therapeutic facilities. To this end, our base hospital, Prakash Netralaya & Retina Foundation, Aligarh has been working with us shoulder to shoulder. As part of our future plans, we plan to equip and man a mobile eye van to reach out to villages & villagers in the surrounding area to provide basic diagnostic eye services at their doorstep.
