Department of Community Ophthalmology

One of the most important objective of Choithram Netralaya is to cater to economically underprivileged population. The hospital targets to treat 50% of the patients under this category at no cost.

Local social organisations help and co-ordinate for eye camps. A team of doctors & optometrists conduct screening of patients requiring eye surgeries and bring them to base hospital.
During the period of their stay the hospital bears the cost of surgeries including IOL, medicine and food. The hospital also takes care of their transportation from and back to their village.
