Proposed Project Description
Aim : Providing eye care services for tribal people in remote villages to cure avoidable blindness.
Eye care in Tribes :
Tribal people are finding difficulties receiving proper health care support and also tribal people have fewer options to treat their health problems. In this case, eye care in tribes also plays a major role in their day to day life. Numerous studies show that due to lack of awareness, the majority of the tribes are unknown about their eye health problems and treatment methods. Tribes do not have proper eye care support to treat their visual problems. Cataracts and uncorrected refractive error play a major role in tribe's vision loss.
Implementation :
As per the 2011 census, around 7.21 lakh tribal people live in Tamilnadu. There are 38 tribal groups in Tamilnadu. The majority of the tribes live in Ooty, Coimbatore, Theni, Dindigul etc..., we choosed tribe's villages based on the availability of eye care centres, Providing eye care services in the tribe's village plays a major role in eliminating blindness in India. Both cataract and uncorrected refractive error are easily treatable with basic eye examination. Our main motive is to avoid blindness through cataract surgery and refractive error correction with appropriate eyeglasses.
Salient Features
- Refractive error correction by providing eyeglasses
- Cataract surgery and guidance
- Creating awareness about using eyeglasses and cataract surgery
