Continuous professional development is the backbone of quality healthcare, ensuring precision in diagnosis and treatment. At our non-profit eye hospital in Jodhpur, dedicated to alleviating avoidable blindness in the Thar Desert region, we prioritize ongoing education for our staff.

On April 16, 2025, senior optometrist Mr. Anjesh Srivastava conducted an essential training session on the cleaning, storage, and upkeep of medical instruments for our Operation Room staff. Proper maintenance ensures longevity, hygiene, and accuracy in surgery. The session was moderated by Dr Rajiv Desai.

Further reinforcing our commitment to excellence, Dr Vatika Jain and Mr. Srivastava led another session on April 24, for our optometrists, focusing on detecting binocular vision disorders. Early identification of such issues enhances treatment outcomes, improving patients’ quality of life.

These in-house trainings are crucial for sharpening diagnostic skills, refining service delivery, and upholding the highest standards of patient care. By fostering continuous learning, we empower our team to deliver compassionate, effective eye care to those in need across Rajasthan’s arid landscape.

The camp witnessed an overwhelming response, with 350 individuals attending to seek treatment for various eye ailments. Our dedicated team provided comprehensive care and identified 24 patients requiring cataract surgery. While six surgeries had to be deferred due to uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes, the remaining patients underwent successful cataract surgeries that very evening, all free of charge. Each patient also received a gratis artificial lens implant to ensure complete visual rehabilitation.

The event’s success underscores our commitment to alleviating avoidable blindness and reducing its burden in the arid stretches of the Thar Desert. Such initiatives harmonize with the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCB&VI), turning small, consistent efforts into meaningful change.

The accompanying visuals capture the spirit of the event – hope rekindled and lives transformed. Together, let us continue to illuminate lives and pave the way for a brighter, blindness-free future in the heart of the Thar.
