Among the patients tested, 69 patients have been found to require a surgery to correct their eye sight of which 4 patients are unfit to undergo the surgery and 1 patient is not in a position to undergo the surgery. 64 patients have been advised to come to the same camp site on 8th July at 4 p.m to be picked up by Sankara Eye Hospital vehicle. After the surgery, patients will be dropped at the same camp site and will be instructed to follow strict after surgery care. A month later on August 9th, Sankara Eye Hospital will be conducting reflection tests as post surgery procedure to make sure patients are progressing well with their procedure. Vasudha volunteer team worked hard to make this possible, in spite of the hot temperatures prevailing in the area.
Vasudha volunteer team distributed curd rice for the patients that stayed beyond the lunch time.
