Kundan Lal does cultivation To fulfill his daily needs.

Cultivation is his main source of Income . Due to his big family, he face many difficulties to manage his Family expenses. Due To covid 19 it affects very badly to kundan Lal family. His two sons became jobless and came home. As we all know that life goes like an ocean, it also occurs same with Kundanlal as he was doing very hard work to

reduce and maintain his financial trouble .But he did not  i know that at age 71 years,his eyes become blurry day by day. Our two responsible CHW Sri Rakesh Kunwar and Sri Sourabh Rawat was doing a survey in Kameda,Rudraprayag.

There in Kamed,our CHW team meet with Kundanlal and His family was doing cultivation at that time.

Our CHW team first done the torch light exam and then the visual assessment of both eyes. Later they knew that he has developed cataract in both eyes. So they came to kundanlal and explain to him about the cataract he has.

If he cannot treat or operate the eyes one by one and ignore this situation then many serious complicated things will occur in his eyes.

Kundanlal became hopeless a little bit, but when we said him that it will be treated by wise doctor and the main thing is that the operation will be free of cost, then a smile of joy came in Kundanlal  face. He told us that he will go for cataract operation in Dehradun.

So we called Kundanlal on 26/12/2023 for a comprehensive eye check up in Rudraprayag vision center.

On 26/12/2023 morning 8:30 am Kundanlal came in Rudraprayag vision center and a comprehensive eye examination done in slit lamp by our senior optom Sri Hanumant Singh Panwar. He decided that the operation of Right Eye will be done first of kundan lal.

Our center co coordinator Anup Panwar explained him about the free of cost surgery facility, free medicine facility and free transport facility and gave him the date of surgery of right eye on 29/12/2023.

At first the blood collection investigation begin after that pre operative visual assessment and lens power measurement done, then doctor came for slit lamp microscope evaluation of kundanlal and select the Right eye needed to be operated.
