Eye Care
Taking proper care of eye leads to reduction of blindness to a considerable extent. In most of the cases children and their parents, particularly those from the economically backward communities, are not aware of the sight deficiencies and the children eventually reach a stage when restoration of the eyesight becomes a serious problem. IEB feels that along with restoration of eyesight through cornea grafting, it should also work for prevention of blindness creeping into the sighted people.
