Chhattisgarhs Health Department is conducting a cataract elimination drive. In just two months, vision has been restored to 12,700 patients across the state.
The Chhattisgarh government has set a target to eliminate cataract from the state by 2025.
Symptoms may include faded colors, blurry or double vision, halos around Light, trouble with bright lights and trouble seeing at night.
This may result in trouble while driving, reading or recognizing faces. Poor vision caused by cataract may led to falling and depression, Shukla said.
Cataracts cause half of all cases of blindness and 33 percent of visual impairment worldwide.
