Our Vision Centers

• Predicated on the need to make Primary Eye Care Services easily available to the rural communities where the need is utmost, Sri Sai Lions Netralaya gets on the concept of VISION CENTRES. Vision Centres, in concurrence with the Vision 2020 Action Plan, are Primary Eye-Care Rural Service Centres with the basic objective of making Primary Eye Care Services available to the people of rural and underserved area of Bihar.

•  At present, SSLN has 15 Vision Centres in different parts of Bihar; viz. Fatuha, Bakhtiyarpur, Barh, Mokama, Paliganj, Dhanarua, Ara, Barahiya, Rajon, Barahat, Bounsi, Banka, Koteshwarnath, Jandaha and Buxer. These Centres provide low cost primary eye care services including refractive error detection and correction.

'SIGHT FOR KIDS'

• It has been observed that diseases like Amblyopia, Vitamin-A deficiency etc. may easily be treated during childhood, but if go undetected, may lead to partial or complete blindness. By an early detection of various such prob lems/diseases, we may be able to help a large number of children.

• Keeping this in mind, SSLN is running 'SIGHT FOR KIDS' Eye Care Programme for children. This ambitious programme is sponsored by Lions Clubs International in collaboration with Jhonson & Jhonson Vision Care. The programme covers children of 5 to 15 years. These children are screened in their schools and treated for eye problems. The programme has been going in and around Patna since last one year very successfully. It includes:

• (i) Distant and near vision check-up.• (ii) Free distribution of spectacles with Carl-Zeiss CR-39 plastic lenses.

THE ROAD AHEAD

• To strengthen the Outreach Program and to increase the intake of cataract surgeries, we are focusing on reaching more old age persons as well as women and children.

• To strengthen the Hospital by developing and implementing the medical audit system and other evaluating strategies to deliver Quality Eye Care.

• Addition of a modern 'Diabetic Retinopathy Clinic' and a 'Low Vision Service Wing'.

The Road Ahead Cont….

Development of ‘Mobile Ophthalmic Unit’ which’s purpose is to make available medical eye treatments to the public in far and remote places where such facilities are few or non-existent.

How SSLN makes a difference in Bihar• It provides free and low cost quality treatment to thousands of needy

patients of Bihar. • Facilities like free pick-up and drop services encourages the poor

and needy patients of remote and rural areas to come to the Hospital for necessary eye treatment.

• Dormitory Facility - where attendants stay while their relatives are being treated.

• Apart from holding free Outreach Screening Camps, Hospital also provides free IOL cataract surgery, accommodation, food, medicines and quality optics to the poor and needy patients throughout the year.

• Our Vision Centers also play an important role to fulfill this goal. These centers identify and screen needy pa tients from different corners of the State. These centers are serving a large number of eye patients. Presently 15 Vision Centers are functional. We hope to open another 20 in 2013.

• Above all, SSLN is bound to raise the standard of Eye Care in Bihar. The people of State would not have to travel long distances to outside the state for reliable treatment, as they will have state-of-the-art facilities provided by expert ophthalmic consultants and specialist surgeons here in Patna itself.

Our Mission : “Vision fo All”

Community Outreach Development Program Team of “Sri Sai Lions Netralaya” is committed towards its mission to prevent blindness, restore eyesight, promote eye health and aims to provide low-cost affordable access to high quality eye care services for all, especialy for those living in poverty.
