Free Eye Check-up & Cataract Referral Camp at Lala Nandimal Dharamshal

Vision Beyond Boundaries: Mojiram Lions Eye Hospital and Pawan K. Bansal Lead Massive Outreach in Narela

NEW DELHI | February 19, 2026 – In a significant stride toward eradicating avoidable blindness in Delhi’s outskirts, a high-impact Free Vision Check-up and Cataract Referral Camp was successfully executed at the Lala Nandimal Dharmshala, Narela.

The initiative, spearheaded by social leader Pawan K. Bansal in a prestigious collaboration with the Mojiram Lions Eye Hospital, served as a critical healthcare intervention for the residents of Narela and its neighboring rural clusters.

Bridging the Healthcare Divide

For many in these semi-urban and rural pockets, specialized ophthalmic care often remains an inaccessible luxury. By bringing a sophisticated diagnostic suite directly to the community, the camp transformed a local community hall into a frontline medical hub.

The program adopted a holistic "Integrated Health Approach," combining advanced eye screenings with general vitals monitoring to ensure no underlying systemic issues—like hypertension or diabetes—went undetected.

The Medical Arsenal: Services at the Frontline

The camp deployed portable, state-of-the-art technology to ensure hospital-grade diagnostics on-site:

• Comprehensive Ophthalmic Suite: Advanced refraction testing, dry eye evaluations, and specialized retina screenings using portable fundus equipment with digital photo documentation.
• Preventive Diagnostics: Integrated blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring to identify systemic risks to vision.
• Immediate Relief: On-the-spot distribution of medicated eye drops and near-vision spectacles.

Impact Report: The Numbers That Matter

The overwhelming turnout of 310 beneficiaries underscores the dire need for such interventions. The clinical outcomes recorded include:

Service Category	Achievement / Impact
Total Consultations	310 Patients reached and treated
Vision Assessments	184 Refraction tests completed
Cataract Eradication	84 Patients identified and scheduled for free surgery
Retina & Diabetic Care	21 Cases of Diabetic Retinopathy identified via fundus tests
Near-Vision Support	128 Free eyeglasses distributed
Medical Aid	390 Vials of medicated eye drops provided
Systemic Screening	110 Blood Pressure/Sugar tests conducted
Specialized Referrals	19 Complex cases moved to Mojiram Lions Hospital for advanced care

A Testament to "Sight First"

The hallmark of this mission is the seamless transition from "Screening to Surgery." Adhering to the global "Sight First" philosophy, all 84 patients diagnosed with cataracts have been fast-tracked to Mojiram Lions Eye Hospital for 100% free surgical treatment.

"Quality healthcare is a basic human right, not a privilege. Our goal is to ensure that avoidable blindness becomes a thing of the past for our community," stated the organizing committee.

This collaborative effort stands as a beacon of humanitarian excellence, proving that when community leadership joins forces with medical expertise, the result is a clearer, brighter future for hundreds—one restored vision at a time.
