Eye camps across Bihar
Organising camps in communities where a simple eye check can help identify people who need further assessment.
Diwali eye safety campaign · Bihar 2026
चश्मा नहीं,
पटाखे नहीं!
Help us distribute 10,000 protective glasses free of charge to children across Bihar. Your donation can support their purchase and distribution, alongside practical eye-safety lessons for families.
Illustrative imageOur purpose
Closer care.
Clearer futures.
Bihar needs more accessible eye care. For many families, distance, cost and limited access to specialists can stand between a vision problem and timely advice.
As ophthalmologists working in Bihar, we believe we have a responsibility to go beyond the clinic. Shankar Jyoti Vision Foundation has been set up to bring eye health awareness, screening and connections to appropriate care closer to the people who need them.
Our aim is simple: help as many people in Bihar as we can protect and care for their sight.
How we plan to work
Eye care, out in the community.
We hope to work with local institutions and communities to make eye health easier to understand and easier to act on.
Learning to protect sight
Practical eye health conversations for children, families and adults, including signs that should prompt an eye examination.
Meeting people where they are
Working with schools, colleges, offices, police stations and local groups to bring outreach closer to daily life.
Our outreach experience
Across workplaces and communities.
Our eye care team has taken screening and eye health awareness to institutions, neighbourhoods and community spaces across Patna and surrounding areas. This experience guides the Foundation’s work.

The campaign
Help make eye safety part of every celebration.
We are looking for contributors to support verified protective eyewear, connect us with schools and communities, and host short safety sessions.
Indian hospital studies show that children and bystanders can suffer serious firework eye injuries. Protective glasses are one layer of protection, not a guarantee against injury.
