Eye Camps
Since 2012, TCF has organized eye camps for underserved areas in West Bengal, primarily aiding seniors. In 2023-24 alone, TCF held 27 eye camps with 4,380 attendees (1,915 men and 2,465 women). Over 3,300 patients received free eyeglasses, while others were referred to specialists for more complex eye conditions. Sponsored by individuals, families, and corporate donors, these camps offer direct and visible improvements in patients’ vision and quality of life.
TCF Eye Camps have helped over 30,000 people with eyeglasses and free eye medication
2024 Eye Camps
We have been holding eye camps around 30 camps each year between November and March. In 2024, we continued with camps hosted across several villages in West Bengal, ranging from Kolkata to remote areas like Malda, Medinipur, Birbhum, and Burdwan. A total of 27 eye camps were conducted, attended by 4,380 individuals, with 3,308 receiving new eyeglasses.
During these camps, optometrists identify cataract cases and refer individuals to hospitals for surgery. Many participants have expressed deep gratitude for the free eyeglasses they received. These eye camps are made possible through the generous support of our donors, some of whom sponsor camps in honour of their loved ones, making the initiative even more meaningful. We are deeply thankful for the continued generosity of all our sponsors.
