The Health Committee of Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, Chandigarh, in collaboration with Pro Sight Eye Hospital, Chandigarh, organised a free Eye Check-Up Camp in the college premises. The team members from Pro Sight Eye Hospital comprised the trained team of Dr Sheetal Brar, Medical Director, MBBS, FC, FPRS (Ophthalmologist), Mr Naveen Yadav, Mr Amritpal Singh, Mr. Aditya Sharma, and other members. During the camp, more than 200 beneficiaries including students, teaching and non-teaching staff members availed the facility of Computerised Vision testing, Refraction test, Vision testing manual, Dry Eye Diagnosis, consultation, and treatment free of cost. Overall, the camp was successful as staff and students availed the free of cost services of Eye Screening, Refraction test (Eye Sight number), Eye pressure test, etc.
Officiating Principal Ms. Suman Mahajan lauded this highly contextual endeavour as in the present time, people tend to spend long hours in front of screens, and such screen exposure has led to a sharp increase the incidence of digital eye strain and dry eyes.
