About Bhaktivedanta Eye Hospital, Barsana:
Barsana is an ancient holy town located in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, about 150 kms from New Delhi, India’s capital. The town and surrounding villages are characterised by severe poverty, limited access to roads, scanty medical facilities and high incidence of cataract induced blindness.
Many of the elderly villagers from the area lead a life of dependency due to cataract induced blindness, which is easily preventable by timely interventions and care.
Since 1992, Bhaktivedanata Eye Hospital, Barsana has been providing eye & dental care services including free cataract surgeries to the local populace, through their day care unit and Annual camps.
