usually do not complain of their poor vision upfront. Due to lack of awareness amongst the parents and school teachers, only a handful of cases are detected at an early stage where appropriate treatment was helpful. The affordability of the spectacles was an issue among school going
children where it is required the most”. The Doctors from Bejan singh Eye Hospital addressed the gathering. They said that when the vision
