Overview
The greatest burden of avoidable blindness is often found in communities with the least access to healthcare. Distance, affordability, awareness, transportation, and trust can prevent people from receiving timely care.
Targeted rural interventions seek to overcome these barriers by bringing services closer to communities. Through vision centres, outreach programmes, screening initiatives, referral systems, counselling, and follow-up pathways, Akhand Jyoti and AJICO work to ensure that geography does not determine access to quality eye care.
