Free Eye Camp For Seniors

On February 8th, 2020, the Rotary Club of Bombay arranged an Eye Camp at our Ananda Yaan Dr. E Moses Road Centre (a joint venture between Dignity Foundation and Rotary Club of Bombay). This was our second eye camp here. The last one was held over a year ago.

Again, we collaborated with the Aditya Jyot Foundation for Twinkling Little Eyes. This time, staff at the centre decided to do an extended outreach and invite senior citizens from adjoining communities too.

What made this camp special was unexpected support from a wellwisher who wished to celebrate her late mother’s birthday; her donation ensured free prescription spectacles for senior citizens. A number of new faces could be seen which meant that the outreach drive worked. A record 125 senior citizens underwent an eye check-up. Prescription
spectacles were distributed to 43. Approximately 49 seniors were asked to visit the Aditya Jyot Foundation at Dharavi for further investigation.
