Free Eye Screenings & Special Discounts at Vasan’s Blue Cataract and LASIK Week
Bengaluru, July 24, 2025 – In an effort to raise awareness and combat the growing issue of cataract-related blindness in India, Vasan Eye Care Hospital is organizing a special ‘Blue Cataract Day & LASIK Mela’ from July 25 to 31, 2025. The initiative will offer free screenings and exclusive discounts on cataract and LASIK procedures.
Cataract remains a major cause of preventable blindness in India, particularly among people above 50 years of age. Despite progress through national programs aimed at controlling visual impairment, a large section of the population continues to suffer from untreated cataract-related vision loss. Importantly, there is currently no medicine or injection available to cure cataract — surgery remains the only effective solution.
However, many individuals are still reluctant to undergo cataract surgery or even visit eye hospitals for checkups.
Rising Concern:
According to national data:
Cataract blindness affected 3.38 million individuals in 2001
The number rose to 7.63 million by 2020
Cataract surgeries increased from 24,025 per million (2001) to 27,817 per million (2020)
To address this challenge, Vasan Eye Care Hospital will conduct a free eye screening camp for people above 50 years under the Blue Cataract Day program, and for individuals aged 20–40 years under the LASIK Mela.
Key Benefits Offered During the Camp:
Complimentary Eye and Scan Tests, along with pre-operative medicines (worth ₹5,000)
10% Discount on all surgical procedures
15% Discount on optical products
Free Consultations with eye specialists
The hospital also announced that it is empanelled with various State and Central Government Insurance Schemes, enabling eligible patients to avail treatments under insurance cover.
Vasan Eye Care urges all individuals above 50 years and eligible LASIK candidates to make use of this special initiative and take a proactive step towards better vision and eye health.
