“Our
Eyes are like an Ocean, in which our Dreams are reflected.” In accordance with
our Annual Theme of “Health is Wealth”, WIS Pawn Baug conducted Vision Care
-The eye and health care project in collaboration with Vision Sankara Eye
Hospital, which conducted eye care screening for our Wittians in the School’s
Medical Center on 3rd July, 2015. The objective of this event was to
spread awareness on eye disorders, their early detection and to detect
refractive errors and eye ailments among our students.
The
team from Vision Sankara Eye Hospital was led by Renowned Ophthalmologist, Dr.
Aashish Bacchav and two optometrists. The camp screening equipment consists of
Vision Trial Box, Portable - Auto Refract Meter, Portable Slit Lamp, Ophthalmoscope,
Tono Meter, Retinoscope and Streak. About 350 students were screened for Distance
Vision, Both Eyes Acuity, Intermediate Vision, Color Vision, Horizontal Field
Test, Vertical Field Test, Contrast Sensitivity, Glare Recovery and Near Vision
Test out of which about 65 students were detected with eye problems. A report
on the students’ vision was submitted by the doctors to the students also
giving them an opportunity to undergo comprehensive treatment at the hospital
with discounted rates.
As
per estimates, every minute a child looses vision somewhere in the globe. Keeping this paradigm in focus, Witty International
School organizes free eye checkup camps for the students annually and a report
on the same is sent to all the parents. Early diagnosis of vision problems can
lead to early treatment and a better prognosis.
