Vision screening camp for students organised

Hyderabad: The University of Hyderabad (UoH) Campus School recently organised Vision (eye) Screening Camp in association with the Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences, School of Medical Sciences, UoH. The two-day camp was organised under the guidance of Prof SVS Nageswara Rao, Chairman, Campus School Management Committee, P Murali, Principal i/C and Teachers of the Campus School. First year Masters Students of Optometry and Vision Sciences volunteered and organised the free eye check-up camp for 404 students of University of Hyderabad Campus School.

Dr Konda Nagaraju, Bindu Reddy and Meghana Mashagalla along with a team of 15 optometry masters students screened the students and provided referrals as required. Six stations were set up for comprehensive eye screening which include registration, history taking, visual acuity for distance and near, objective and subjective refraction, binocular vision screening (colour vision, HBT, cover tests), torch light examination and the management.

The camp was useful as it could identify some students with eye related issues that needed correction. Early diagnosis helped in proper treatment to avoid further issues. The day wise detailed report and few photographs of the camp are placed below.
