EYE CARE: LACK OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY(CSR)

RNA Trust(R) together with Sanjeevani Netralaya eye hospital did a glaucoma awareness camp on 3rd April 2013 with a completely free eye glaucoma check up by the Glaucoma Specialist Dr.Rajesh Parekh.

86 patients attended the check up.It was a surprise to see that as many as 8 patients had untreated glaucoma and others had cataract, refractive errors and diabetic retinopathy.

Complete visual fields with Intraocular pressure check ups have helped the patients.One underwent a very successful YAG iridotomy.

The contribution of Daily Salar newspaper must be acknowledged.Sadly other corporates in and around Infantry Road,Bangalore had no role in creating awareness.So much for Corporate Social Responsibility!!
