Mission for Vision

We are thrilled to share that Mission for Vision's recent eye health camp in collaboration with Ummeed Foundation and Walk n Wheels Foundation has been featured in Mid-Day newspaper! To mark the 2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we enabled eye examinations for over 100 children with disabilities at Ummeed - The Hope School in Mumbra. The initiative also provided spectacles at no cost and facilitated referrals for children requiring further treatment, ensuring they received the necessary care.

Thank you SBI General Insurance for making eye care accessible for communities residing in remote corners of Meghalaya, India. It is heartening to see that we are placing the comfort and convenience of the patients at the centre and front. Through this vehicle, eye care has been made easily accessible and no one has to grapple with transportation issues, especially in the hilly terrains of Meghalaya. We would also like to express our gratitude to Society for the Promotion of Eye care and Sight (SPECS) for their continued support, helping us enable quality eye care services to those in need across the region.

Driven by a shared commitment towards inclusive eye care and in conjunction with the 2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Mission for Vision, Ummeed Foundation, and Walk n Wheels Foundation collaboratively organised a comprehensive eye health camp at Ummeed - The Hope School in Mumbra, Thane. This initiative addressed the eye care needs of 100+ children with disabilities, many of whom come from marginalised and underserved communities. The services were provided at no cost to these children. Mission for Vision's team of optometrists conducted these eye screenings, including vision tests to detect refractive errors or other issues. Children requiring specialised care were referred to partner hospitals, while those needing corrective measures received spectacles at no cost. The event highlighted the importance of inclusive healthcare, providing better vision and improved opportunities for children with disabilities. #InclusionMatters #EyeCareForAll #BreakingBarriers #IDPD Khushi Ganatra Shrikant Ayyangar Gaurangi Kolzarkar Ms. Rutul Shah Mrinal Gole Debashis Maiti
