Now two city-based eye specialists have announced to conduct the eye-surgery of the completely blind 5-year-old kid, Khenka Murmu, free of cost.
What is tactile breast screening?
When 42-year-old Manisha Anand got a call for a tactile breast screening to be done by a trained visually impaired woman, she called up her mother, a gynaecologist, consulted her, and signed up for the examination programme. Anand, who has a family history of breast cancer, eventually had her first tactile breast screening in June this year.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The deserted ground floor of the Kerala Federation of the Blind (KFB) at Kunnukuzhi bears testimony to the bad patch the institute has been going through in the recent times. Until a year ago the place was buzzing with activities as visually-challenged people visit the office to learn using computers, internet banking and ride-hailing apps with the help of the talking software. It was also a place frequented by the visually-challenged to check lottery results or for filling PSC application forms.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Thiruvananthapuram-headquartered Kerala Federation of the Blind (KFB) is planning to mobilise funds for the visually-challenged who are affected by flood.
“We have given direction to all our members to contribute to our special account to be created for helping those affected,” said KFB executive director R Sasidharan Pillai. The fund will be utilised to help rebuild houses, loss of livelihood etc. Last year KFB collected Rs 3.5 lakh, of which Rs1 lakh was donated to Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF).

Washington: Scientists are developing a technology that would circumvent the eyeball in order to deliver the message directly to the brain in case of visually impaired people.
Researchers from EPFL in Switzerland and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Italy will be doing this by stimulating the optic nerve with intraneural electrode known as OpticSELINE.
The study was published in the journal 'Nature Biomedical Engineering'.
The Delhi High Court Tuesday asked the Centre and the RBI as to what steps they intend to take in the future to make ATMs, online banking services and currency notes of Rs 50 and lower denominations, more user-friendly for the visually impaired.
Former Minister and Sircilla legislator T. Harish Rao felicitated visually-impaired student Lucky Mirani, a student of Paramita High School here, who scored 10 GPA in the SSC examinations held in March. He was presented with a cheque for over ₹1 lakh.
Mumbai: Expressing displeasure over frequent changes in features of currency notes, the Bombay high court on Thursday said that the Reserve Bank of India should at least retain the sizes of different denominations so as to enable visually impaired identify the notes easily.
“Do whatever you want to do with the colour and design of the notes, but keep at least their size same,” said the division bench of Chief Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Bharati Dangre.
Changing the size and other features of currency notes often is “not proper” especially because a visually impaired person spends years to figure out the dimensions and other features of a banknote or coin, the Bombay High Court said.
Google Docs is making it easier for the visually impaired to keep track of real-time updates made by collaborators in a given document with a new feature.
A 'Live edits' feature allows users to view a periodically updated summary of changes in a convenient sidebar, according to the official blog.
To enable the feature, open the Accessibility settings and check 'Turn on screen reader support' and then select 'Show live edits'.
Fifty-seven million visually impaired people in India lack real-time access to content as less than 1% of content is available in Braille. Trestle Labs, an assistive technology company, is changing that for people with print and learning disabilities. On #TechThursdays we profile their leading innovation, Kibo XS.
BENGALURU: Refractive errors are the most common treatable cause of visual impairment. These are optical imperfections that prevent the eye from properly focusing light, thus causing blurred vision. The primary refractive errors are near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia. These can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, or can be permanently treated with laser surgery.
Eyeglasses
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A disability cannot stop a person from pursuing their ambition. Husna Ameen, 27, who suffers from visual impairment, has just completed her post-graduation in English literature and is a computer trainer. Husna is currently running a YouTube Channel, ‘English Insights with Husna’, which has got nearly 608 subscribers and already touched 1,000 views.
Scientists are developing a technology for the visually-impaired people that bypasses the eyeball entirely and sends messages to the brain, paving the way for a new visual aid for daily living.
