EYE CAMP PROJECT
In Bangladesh blindness is major public health problem. The recent study revels that the cataract is the predominant cause of blindness, particularly for the older age group. The country as a whole suffers more as the blind people can not contribute to the economic activities and they became burden to there families as well as to the country. Eye sights of these people may be regained by surgery / treatment. The human sufferings is of serious concern where there is a blind person in the family. Required surgical treatment is needed for the cure of the sight of the blind people but it is not affordable to the majority of the rural population.
