Most of the population in India live in the economically backward areas of the country, where they have little or no access to primary health care facilities.
One of the most important senses of our body is vision- our eyes. For our brains to function in a healthy way, we need a healthy eyesight. 80% of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight. Our eyes have been called " the window to our soul". According to WHO estimates, 80% of all causes of visual impairment are preventable or curable.
Understanding this importance, Prerana has pledged to promote access to eye Care facilities among economically weaker sections.
