[edit]
Caption In the photo above, a young boy receives an eye examination at a Bahá’í-sponsored eye camp that was held last September 23-30 near Bangalore, India. The boy is one of more than 1,900 patients who received treatment. Most of the 180 who underwent eye surgery at the camp would have become blind within a year without the operation. Below, family members help an elderly patient on his arrival at the camp. Most of those who had eye surgery were able to walk three days later, and most were discharged one week after the operation. Many of the other patients were fitted for eyeglasses and returned to their villages with their eyesight greatly improved. Two eye camps were held in 1983 and more are being planned by the Bahá’ís of India.
