CSR Creating a better tomorrow, today. Eye Screening and free cataract Surgeries Camps Blindness is not only a health problem but is one of the most important social problems worldwide with enormous economic implications. Blindness is mainly a problem of developing countries which is preventable in at least 80% of cases. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September 2015. There are several targets and indicators within Goal 3: Good Health which is very relevant for eye health and within this goal. Prevention and control of blindness is included within the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) under the SDGs which are largely diseases of poverty and addressing them can help to reduce eye health inequalities. Majority of the population is oblivious to the fact that blindness can be prevented, treated, and cured if timely measures are taken. There is an urgent need to cater to this segment of the population and those who are on the verge of getting blind.
