Prevention and Cure of Blindness Free Eye Camps with Distribution of Spectacles

As part of our ongoing Prevention and Cure Program for Eye Ailments, the National Association for the Blind, Chandigarh, and Punjab regularly conducts eye screening camps across Chandigarh, Mohali, and adjoining areas. These camps aim to identify individuals — including children — who require specialized eye care and timely medical attention.

Children diagnosed with low vision during these screenings are seamlessly integrated into NAB’s inclusive education and skill training programs, ensuring they receive not only medical support but also the educational and vocational opportunities needed for a brighter, independent future.

To correct refractive errors, free spectacles are provided to all needy beneficiaries. Over the past two years, we have successfully organized more than 30 eye screening camps, benefiting thousands of individuals and distributed free spectacles to underprivileged persons.

Through these camps, we focus on early detection, diagnosis, and intervention to prevent avoidable blindness and manage vision-related disabilities effectively. We also conduct special school-based eye camps to identify children with vision impairments and provide on-the-spot corrective measures such as free prescription glasses. For cases with more serious eye conditions, timely referrals and early intervention are ensured to prevent further vision loss.

Beyond medical support, NAB extends holistic assistance by facilitating essential documentation and government benefits such as medical certificates, UDID cards, Aadhaar registration, disability pensions, and other entitlements for persons with disabilities identified through these camps.

Our commitment is to ensure that no individual is deprived of vision care due to financial or social barriers, and that every person identified receives the support, dignity, and opportunities they deserve.
