Blind Free Village
Susrut Eye Foundation’s Blind-Free Village initiative brings essential eye care to rural West Bengal, focusing on cataract detection, treatment, and awareness. Through free camps and surgeries, the program restores vision to those in need, preventing avoidable blindness.
With expert teams and strong local outreach, Susrut is helping villages see a brighter, clearer future.
Door To Door Screening
Door to Door screening is happening on regular basis at the rural part of West Bengal.
We are honored to collaborate with some of India’s top businesses. Without the steadfast and ongoing support of our corporate partners, our mission would not be possible.
Adults Screening Camps
Susrut organizes free eye checkup camp for adults in the community (urban & rural) to identify cataract and other eye diseases. We are also providing cataract surgeries for elderly patients free of cost as well as at a subsidized price.
Pediatric Camp
A child goes blind somewhere in the world every minute, yet much of childhood blindness is preventable. we organize free camps in school and ICDS to assess refractive error of children and dispense free spectacles, recognition of cataracts and other surgical ailments, which are referred to the hospital. Through these activities we reach out to children to help in their education and day to day activities.
Corporate Camp
We offer our regular Corporate Eye Care Camps, organized by Susrut Eye Foundation and Research Centre! These camps aim to promote eye health and wellness in the workplace, providing comprehensive eye check-ups, expert consultations, and personalized advice to help your team maintain optimal vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Camps
Diabetic Retinopathy screening camps are often held in community vision centers because screening people for this disease requires special medical expertise. DR screening camps are specialized exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. However, while the focus is on detecting diabetic retinopathy before it causes irreversible blindness (and this sometimes means detecting diabetes in patients who don’t know they have it), patients who suffer from other eye disorders will also be referred to our main hospital.
Awareness Campaigns
We organize community base awareness campaigns to sensitize different stakeholders on quality eye care service.
We train school teachers and ICDS teachers on general eye care, vision screening and a proper referral system.
We display IEC materials in the community to spread awareness on Primary Eye care among the population
in general.
Mobile Vision Vans & Ambulances
Vision Van presents a revolutionary eye care concept for urban and rural areas. The vision van as a holistic system integrates numerous innovative technologies for final-stage delivery and thus sets the performance standards and solutions for future generations. Vision van takes the primary service to the remote areas to provide better service to the community people.
Green Vision Centers
- Susrut runs 100+ vision centers (as of March 2024) in the community to provide comprehensive eye care by integrating it with information technology effectively, that would facilitate providing quality care at the doorsteps of the rural and urban population.
- Collaborate with the community to promote eye health education and create awareness proactively.
- Change the health seeking behavior of the community and thereby slowly move away from camps to a sustainable Centre based approach.
