Dhar, In the year 1968, Gurushree Ranchoddasji had organized a camp for eye operations in Dhar. Therefore, we have resolved that first of all we will free Dhar district from cataract. Our target is to conduct 30 thousand free cataract operations in the state. So far, 20 lakh cataract operations have been performed free of cost in different provinces of the country by the Trust. The trust will carry out operations on people between the age of one year to 100 years.

These things were said by Praveen Bhai Vasani, Managing Trustee of Shri Ranchoddasji Bapu Charitable Hospital, Rajkot, in a press conference held here on Wednesday. He further said that the cataract operations are done by the trust with phaco machine without using stitches. Soft foldable lenses are then fitted. It costs Rs 20 thousand in the market, but here the operations are being done free of cost. Eye camps will be organized at various places in the state from 19 October to 19 March 2024. In the camp, eye patients diagnosed with cataract will be brought here and operated free of cost. Shri Ranchoddasji Guru said that the patient is my God and forget me, but do not forget the Netrayagya. Our aim is also that no poor and needy people lose their eyesight due to lack of money. Keeping this in mind, cataract operations have been being done free of cost to the poor and poor sections of the society for years. State-of-the-art machines have been brought for eye operations in Badnawar. On this occasion, all the journalists including senior journalist and Press Club President Gyanendra Tripathi were present.

Emphasis on caution regarding infection

In response to the questions asked by the journalists in the press conference, Praveen Bhai said that surely all you journalists have asked about the risk of infection during eye operation. We will take extra care in this regard, so that there is no problem as long as our camp continues. We are committed to keeping the operation theater clean to the very ideal standards. In response to a question, he said that we have contracted a specialist doctor from Indore for the camp, by whom the operations will be performed.
