Launch: Vision Centre

Thanks to the support of the P C Parmar Foundation of Pune, we commissioned the Global Hospital Vision Centre at village Kalindri in district Sirohi in December. This follows the launch of the vision centre in Raniwada a year ago. The two vision centres function as rural eye clnics for the benefit of the community. They are well equipped - modern diagnostic aids such as a slit lamp, lensometer, trial set for refractions, ophthalmoscope, retinoscope, autoclave, and minor instruments enable a wide range of examinations for which the community would otherwise have to travel afar.

Vision Centre

P C Parmar Global Hospital Eye Care Centre (Abu Road) is all set to launch a new Vision Centre at village Raniwada in Jalore district. This is part of a new initiative by NGOs/hospitals partnering the Government of India in implementing Vision 2020 to reach out to patients in a rural area. The Vision Centre will be staffed by a field worker and an optometrist. It will conduct eye examinations and refer patients needing further treatment or surgery to the base hospital. The Centre will also house an optical shop to dispense spectacles.
