Eye Care Camps at a Glimpse

At United Sikh Mission, we believe blindness can be prevented or eyesight restored, if only they had access to proper eye care. Please make partnership with us to change lives for the poor people in India and around the world. Countless patients are unable to afford eye care due to economic reasons, lack of awareness or simply non-accessibility to health services.

According to the World Health Organisation:

  • 37 million people worldwide are blind
  • 28 million could have been restarted visibility

Do you want to help bring light to someone’s life? Rural poor people who do not have access to quality eye care services or simply cannot afford such services end up suffering from blindness. An estimated 2% of the population is blind due to cataract. To Reach out to these poor people who can’t reach us and continue to live in a state of blindness, help us raise funds so that our Eye Camps are able to reach them in effort to:

  • Prevent blindness through eye care camps
  • Cure blindness through eye operation camps
  • Rehabilitate curable blind illnesses
  • Promote eye care awareness through eye check-up camps

Every year in the month of October, November, and December United Sikh Mission organises Eye Camps in Punjab.
