The Hospital conducts regular free eye screening camps on all Sundays and National Holidays in various
centres in the rural areas of Kannur and Kasargod districts as well as in the hospital, with the
co-operation of District Blindness Control Society, local clubs, NGOs and service organizations LIKE Lions
Clubs etc. The patients with minor ailments are treated at the campsite itself. Those who require cataract
surgery are advised to report at the hospital.
These patients are operated free of cost with the
implantation of Intra Ocular Lenses (IOLs) and all the expenses viz. boarding, bed charges, medicines etc.
are born by the hospital. Spectacles prescribed to the patients at the eye screening camps and also at
the hospital are provided at very nominal cost.
During this short period we had conducted 326 eye screening camps and examined more than sixty thousand patients.
