    Access to quality eye care remains a major challenge in rural and underserved regions of Maharashtra. Thousands of individuals continue to suffer from preventable or treatable visual impairment due to lack of early diagnosis, awareness, and timely intervention.

    The Mobile Eye Care Unit by Deesha Education Foundation is designed to bridge this critical gap. Equipped with essential diagnostic tools and supported by trained ophthalmic staff, the unit travels across remote villages and urban slums to deliver doorstep eye care services.

    Through this initiative, we:

    Conduct comprehensive eye screenings in rural and semi-urban communities
    Identify cases of cataract, refractive errors, corneal blindness, and other ocular conditions
    Provide free or subsidized spectacles and medicines
    Refer patients requiring surgical or advanced care to partner hospitals
    Create awareness about eye health and prevention of blindness

    So far, the Mobile Eye Care Unit has screened over 3,00,000 individuals across multiple districts, ensuring that no one is left behind due to geographical or financial barriers.

    By supporting this project, donors directly contribute to early detection, timely treatment, and prevention of avoidable blindness.

    India faces a severe shortage of donor corneas, leaving lakhs of people with corneal blindness waiting for sight restoration.

    Deesha Education Foundation is strengthening the eye donation ecosystem through awareness, hospital-based counselling, and efficient eye banking systems. The initiative promotes eye donation, supports eye banks and collection centres, ensures ethical and transparent cornea distribution, and leverages technology to improve utilization.

    So far, Deesha has enabled thousands of corneal transplants, built a strong network of eye banks, and sensitized over 6,00,000 people about eye and organ donation.

    Our vision: No cornea goes unused, and no patient remains blind due to lack of access.

    Your support can help restore sight, dignity, and independence to those in need.
