3. WHY EYE CARE SERVICE?
ā¢ 39 million people are blind in the world
ā¢ 12 million people are blind in India
ā¢ 80% of blindness are treatable
ā¢ 200 million people need eye care in
India
ā¢ A ten minutes cataract surgery will
restore vision to 7.5 million people
ā¢ Government alone cannot meet the
health needs of all owing to a number of
challenges like growing population,
inadequate infrastructure, low per capita
income, aging population, diseases in
epidemic proportions and illiteracy. 3
