01
Community Camp Setup
The team reaches an identified community location where patients can attend closer to home.
Community Outreach Eye Care
Mobile Diagnostic Camps
Regular diagnostic camps are held across six districts and integrated with hospital referral networks, helping patients move smoothly from community-level screening to specialist evaluation and treatment.
Screening closer to home. Hospital care when required.

Care Beyond Hospital Walls
A practical bridge from screening to treatment
Mobile diagnostic camps reduce the first barrier to eye care by taking assessment closer to rural and underserved communities. Patients are examined locally, counselled and connected with Drashti Netralaya whenever detailed evaluation, spectacles, treatment or surgery is required.
✓Community-level vision and eye-health assessment
✓Identification of patients requiring spectacles, specialised examination or surgery
✓Patient counselling and clear documentation of the required next step
✓Referral coordination through the hospital network
How the Programme Works
One connected care pathway
Each camp is designed to make diagnosis useful. The programme does not stop after identifying an eye problem; it guides the patient towards the appropriate level of care.
02
Diagnostic Eye Assessment
Vision and eye health are assessed using suitable diagnostic tools and clinical examination.
03
Counselling & Documentation
Findings are explained and the required next step is documented clearly for the patient.
04
Hospital Referral
Patients requiring specialist evaluation or surgery are connected with the appropriate hospital service.
Camp-to-hospital continuityEvery examination leads towards a clear next step
Camp-Based Eye Care
Diagnostic support designed around community needs
The camps identify eye conditions, provide appropriate guidance and connect patients with specialised care whenever required.
Vision Screening
Basic assessment to identify reduced, blurred or impaired eyesight.
Refraction Assessment
Identification of patients who may benefit from corrective spectacles.
Cataract Detection
Detection and referral of patients requiring detailed cataract evaluation or surgery.
Child & Adult Screening
Eye-health assessments for patients across different age groups and communities.
Low-Vision Guidance
Suitable guidance and referral for people with remaining functional vision.
Referral Coordination
A connected route to specialist examination, treatment and surgical care.
Bikaner Outreach Case Study
Reaching families where distance and poverty restrict access to sight
The Bikaner outreach record highlights communities where long travel distances, severe poverty and multiple affected family members made active identification, counselling and hospital referral essential.
41children documented as operated from Bikaner district
Bangarsar Village
Bangarsar is recorded as one of the remotest villages in the Thar Desert, approximately 120 kilometres from the district headquarters. Three children and one parent were operated at OM Trust Dahod. The youngest family member, aged six months, was awaiting surgery at the time of documentation.
Agneu Family
The record describes a family of ten living in severe poverty. Nine members were affected by curative blindness. Seven children and two adults from the same family were waiting for sight-restoring care.
