Vision of Love is pleased to organise a free eye screening camp at District General Hospital (DGH), Trincomalee on 13th Feb 2018. In total 32 people participated in the camp from Kilivetty and surrounding villages. A number of staff from DGH Trincomalee including Consultant Ophthalmologist involved with the camp. Transportation of patients from Kilivetty and surrounding villages to DGH Trincomalee was arranged with CTB Muttur. For some patients journey started as early as 3am due to their location. They reached the hospital at 7:30am. After checking vision, the patients were referred to doctor’s examination and then to Refraction room if required. Lens scanning was done by optometrists and Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL) power for each patient determined. One 75 years old female patient from Palathopur, Thopur was diagnosed with the dislocated lens thus admitted to the hospital immediately and the operation was done on 15.02.2018. A total of 29 patients were diagnosed for cataract and the operations will be performed by Consultant Surgeon. All the necessary support in terms of IOLs consumables for the cataract surgeries will be provided by Vision of Love. If you like to support this project, please contact us at info@vision-of-love.org. Thank you.
