Expanding Vision Care: Arcil's Support for Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital

In partnership with Yugrishi Shriram Sharma Acharya Charitable Trust

Arcil is committed to combating preventable blindness by supporting the establishment of Vision Centres under the aegis of Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital in various districts of Bihar. Recognizing the significant burden of vision impairment in India, these centres leverage Tele-ophthalmology equipment to enable the early identification of cataract patients in surrounding villages.

Building on the success of two centres supported in FY 2023-24 (Ekma and Gopalganj), Arcil expanded its support in FY 2024-25 to include four new Vision Centres in Lalganj, Raghunathpur, Saraiya, and Guthani. This crucial initiative ensures that numerous patients receive vital screenings and are promptly referred to the base hospital for necessary cataract surgeries, significantly improving access to eye care in remote and underserved communities.
