Through screenings across 13 villages, 1,800 individuals were vision screened, and 1,026 people identified with refractive errors received free spectacles at a distribution event in Ennore.
IVI’s CEO Vinod Daniel said, “Clear vision enhances self-confidence, boosts productivity, and improves employment opportunities. In older adults, it reduces falls, injuries, and road mishaps, contributing to overall safety and well-being. We thank JSW Foundation for supporting this initiative and bringing the gift of sight to those in need.”
JSW managers attended the distribution, witnessing firsthand how access to vision care empowers individuals—improving livelihoods and enabling independent living.
“With better vision, people can work more efficiently, perform daily tasks with ease, and fully engage in their communities,” Mr. Daniel added.
India Vision Institute works to eliminate preventable vision impairment and advocate for better eye health across India. Through innovative programs and strong partnerships, IVI has provided access to vision screenings and provided corrective glasses to those in need. Over 1.7 million individuals across 24 states have benefited, bringing the gift of clear sight to those who need it most.
