Eye care for those who need it most.
From rural screening camps to fully sponsored surgeries, our community work is the heart of what makes Sankar Foundation a foundation, not just a hospital.
Reaching the unreached — one village at a time.
Our outreach teams travel to the most remote communities, setting up eye screening camps that bring comprehensive eye care to people who have never seen an ophthalmologist.
Decades of difference.
Every camp, every sponsored surgery, every spectacle distributed in a village school is funded by donors who believe sight is a fundamental right.
Moments that matter.

How an Eye Camp works.
A well-orchestrated process ensures every patient receives thorough care — from the moment they walk in to the moment they leave with clearer vision.
Registration
Patients are welcomed and registered with their basic health and demographic details.
Vision Checking
Preliminary visual-acuity testing to identify those who need further examination.
Refraction
Detailed refraction tests to determine the exact spectacle prescription required.
Waiting for their turn
Patients wait in a comfortable area while records are prepared for the ophthalmologist.
Ophthalmologist Examination
A qualified ophthalmologist performs a comprehensive eye examination using a slit lamp.
Frame Selection
Patients who need spectacles choose from a wide range of frames, all provided free of cost.
Medicine Disbursement
Prescribed medicines and eye drops are dispensed on-site at no charge.
Satisfied with improved vision
Patients leave the camp with clearer sight, better health awareness and a smile.
