Vision for the blind-23rd mega free eye camp
Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan pioneered Mega Eye Camps in Haryana, way back in 1992. Today this unique endeavour of free care has touched thousands of lives.
While eye camps are generally being replaced by hospital based surgeries as far as possible, Dera Sacha Sauda’s 23rd Mega Eye camp took things to another level by its successful execution of 1161 free intraocular lens implant surgeries. Since 1992 nearly 2400 patients of cataract have been successfully operated in this wonderful vista of humanitarian service.
“The OT’s have been equipped with dehumidifies, uv sterilizers and flash autoclaves” said Dr. Puneet, the CMO of the SMG Hospital.
Dr. Dinesh Talwar, a former professor from RP Centre, AIIMS and a senior vitreoretina Surgeon was accompanied by microbiologist Dr. Shveta and a PhD Dr. Sanjukta Sen Gupta who ensured that the OT’s were totally free from the risk of infection. Daily tests of the OT air and floors were done to rule out contamination of the operation theaters and the whole effort successfully ended where none of the patients developed anything remotely suggestive of infection.
