AKHAND JYOTI EYE HOSPITAL (AJEH) is the most effective eye hospital in Bihar working to eradicate blindness from the state and as a result reduce poverty. We choose to specifically target and reach out to the poor, blind patient from rural Bihar. This focused approach on the blind patient has made us the largest eye hospital in Eastern India, and in just a few years, we have shown that by sticking to our primary aim of eradicating blindness, we can also:
1. Offer comprehensive, high quality eye care with specialized services for cataract, retina, children’s eye care, glaucoma & cornea
2. Build up a successful teaching eye hospital in the rural heartland by providing equal opportunities to girls and train them as ophthalmic assistants.
Over the five years to March 2018, Akhand
Jyoti has EACH year:
• performed 62,200 surgeries of which
95% were cataract surgeries (of which
50,300 were given free of charge),
targeting the poorest people in Bihar;
• organised 1,770 eye camps and
examined 435,000 patients in villages
many of which are in remote places;
and
• dispensed 26,000 spectacles.
