Healthcare Program

Impaired vision can make a person of any age group dependent cum vulnerable. A considerable chunk of the rural population reportedly losing eye-sight due to cataracts and other eye-related issues. Most of them are either unaware of their condition or unable to afford surgeries. They face many barriers to accessing healthcare and related facilities.

To curb this scenario, PAT is helping people by organizing eye camps in Ariyalur and Thanjavur districts in collaboration with Lions Club of T.Palur /Kumbakonam/Udayarpalayam and Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai/Puducherry.

The primary aim behind organizing these eye camps is to create awareness among these people and provide them with services like eye care education, full eye checkups, and sponsored surgical operation for those who develop advanced cataract. We organize eye checkup camps at regular intervals every year to prevent people from getting major eye disorders.

PAT facilitates conducting eye camps in schools targeting 10 to 17-year-olds rendering comprehensive eye checkups to detect vision issues early on. The initiative includes providing necessary support such as spectacles, ensuring that students have optimal vision for academic success and overall well-being.
