On World Senior Citizen’s Day, Centre for Sight, India’s leading network of super-specialty eye hospitals, is calling attention to the urgent need for timely intervention in age-related eye diseases. With over 140 million Indians above the age of 60, nearly one in three faces visual impairment, a challenge that threatens both independence and quality of life.
To raise awareness, Centre for Sight has partnered with fitness icon Milind Soman, who
embodies active ageing and holistic wellness. The campaign reminds families that overall health is incomplete without regular eye check-ups.
“Eye health defines dignity, confidence, and independence in old age,” said Dr. Mahipal S.
Sachdev, Chairman & Medical Director, Centre for Sight Group of Eye Hospitals. “No one should accept poor vision as an inevitable part of ageing, because with today’s technology and expertise, they don’t have to.”
