  • Free eye camp

    District

    Regularly, we organize Free Eye Camps across Bidar district, facilitated by our 10 vision centers. These camps are integral to Velemegna's ongoing efforts, as the relatively straightforward surgeries conducted restore vision to thousands who would otherwise face significant limitations in earning a livelihood. Additionally, we conduct school eye screenings, assessing approximately 15,000 patients via our vision centers, with 1500-2000 undergoing free eye surgeries annually. Moreover, our hospital performs approximately 3500-4000 surgeries each year, with an additional 25,000 patients screened at the base hospital, half of whom receive services free of charge.
