Drishti Daan

The gift of sight. Drishti Daan provides free cataract screenings and surgeries to individuals who have been blinded by a completely treatable condition — simply because no one came to help them.

✦ About Drishti Daan

Blindness Should Not
Be a Life Sentence.

Cataract is the leading cause of preventable blindness in India. Thousands of elderly farmers, homemakers, and labourers have spent years unable to see clearly — not because treatment does not exist, but because no one brought the treatment to them.

"Mujhe duniya wapas mil gayi." — Shyamlal, farmer, after his surgery at a Drishti Daan camp.

Our mobile screening camps travel to communities identified through our field networks. Those diagnosed with operable cataracts are transported to partner hospitals, operated upon at zero cost, and returned home with post-operative care kits and follow-up visits.

₹5,500 = One complete cataract surgery + post-op care

✦ Story of Change

Kamla Recognises
Her Own Saree Again

Kamla, 72, had lived in blurred darkness for two years. After her surgery at our Drishti Daan camp, the first thing she did was pick up her colourful saree and smile at the mirror. "Kitne rangeen hain ye kapde — bhool gayi thi main," she said.

One surgery. One afternoon. A lifetime of sight restored.
