A free eye camp held on Saturday at Lakuredhara in Mandandeupur Municipality-9, Kavre district, benefited 150 people through eye treatment and vision-related counselling. The camp was jointly organised by the District Cooperative Union and Panchakanya Mahila Bikas Bahuuddeshiya Sahakari Sanstha, with patients identified with cataracts set to receive free surgery with technical support from Reiyukai Masunaga Eye Hospital.
Treatment and counselling at Lakuredhara
The camp brought eye care services to residents in Lakuredhara, where participants received treatment and counselling related to their vision. A total of 150 people benefited from the programme, according to the information provided about the event. The services were offered free of charge, giving attendees an opportunity to have eye-related concerns assessed and to receive guidance on vision.
The organisers were the District Cooperative Union and Panchakanya Mahila Bikas Bahuuddeshiya Sahakari Sanstha. The two organisations jointly conducted the camp in Mandandeupur Municipality-9. The event combined treatment with vision-related counselling, rather than limiting its services to a single activity.
Free surgery planned for cataract patients
Patients identified with cataracts at the camp will receive free surgery. Reiyukai Masunaga Eye Hospital is providing technical support for the surgical care. The arrangement extends the camp’s services beyond the treatment and counselling offered on Saturday, with identified patients to receive further care without charge.
The information available about the camp does not specify how many of the 150 people were identified as having cataracts, or when the surgeries will take place. It does, however, state that free surgery will be provided to those patients and that the hospital will support the procedure technically.
Joint effort to provide eye care
The camp’s delivery involved cooperation between a district-level cooperative body, a local cooperative institution and an eye hospital providing technical support for surgery. The District Cooperative Union and Panchakanya Mahila Bikas Bahuuddeshiya Sahakari Sanstha organised the programme, while Reiyukai Masunaga Eye Hospital was named as the technical partner for cataract surgery.
For the 150 people who benefited, the camp offered access to treatment and vision-related counselling in Lakuredhara. The planned free operations will also provide a further step in care for participants diagnosed with cataracts. No additional details were provided about the types of other eye conditions treated, the number of counselling sessions, or the specific arrangements for follow-up care.
