Sri Vivekananda Sevashrama eye hospital received an award from Wokhrat foundation for its service activities. We are proved of the award. We have conducted 23,000 free IOL cataract surgeries during these fruitful 14 years from its inception in 1998. Though we were conducting free cataract surgery camps from 1980, the establishment of a separate eye hospital with a mobile unit hasened the work. Since we started mega camps in Hydarabad Karnataka region from 2006 we are able to conduct more than 3000 surgeries per year.
