Cataract Case Study- School Eye Health Programme


Idris Khan aged 9 of Nischintakoili Block and Arjun Pradhan aged 10 of Banki Block, were suffering from Bilateral Congenital Cataract. This particular eye disease is a rare form of Cataract wherein the patients get the disease right from birth. Though they are in Std.4 & 5 respectively but are not able to do the day to day activities like normal children. Their parents are staying below poverty lines hence could not afford the surgery and had left them to their fate.

Luckily these two children were detected by the VIDYAJYOTI team with the help of R.T.E, SSA, Cuttack during School Screening camps.
