Free Eye Screening camp followed by Free Cataract Surgeries

The Free Eye Screening Camp was held on Mangshir 20, 2082 (December 6, 2025), at the selected venue. Mobilizing 25 Rotarians and 40 Rotaract members as volunteers, the event was a model of organized community service. Over 800 villagers underwent screenings, exceeding our initial target. Of these, 280 were identified with cataracts. On-site statutory blood testing confirmed 250 patients as suitable for surgery. Volunteers managed crowd flow, provided assistance to attendees, and ensured a smooth process. Local media coverage, coordinated in advance, played a vital role in drawing participants from the surrounding areas.
Surgeries commenced immediately after the camp, spanning 15 subsequent days at Lumbini Netralaya in Bhairahawa. Patients were scheduled in convenient groups of 20-35, minimizing travel burdens and ensuring personalized care. All 250 identified patients received successful cataract surgeries, restoring their vision and enabling them to lead more independent lives. Post-operative follow-ups were arranged through the clinic, with club members monitoring recovery and providing necessary support. This phase underscored the project’s end-to-end commitment to beneficiary welfare.
