Including children was also notable, with 7 male and 11 female young patients attending the camp. This comprehensive demographic engagement highlighted the foundation’s dedication to providing eye care across all ages and genders.

One of the key highlights of the camp was the distribution of free eyeglasses to 99 individuals, ensuring that those in need had access to essential vision correction. In addition to eyeglasses, the camp also distributed 153 units of free medicines, addressing various eye-related ailments and contributing to the overall health and well-being of the attendees.
