I had posted in detail
about Independence Day Celebrations in Triplicane, at SYMA medical Centre where
National flag was hoisted by Shri M. Murali
of Sri Krishna Sweets. Later at Sirvi Samaj Bhavan, SYMA with Lions Club Venus,
Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Trust and Sri
Sankara Eye Hospital Pammal conducted
eye camp for detection of Cataract and free surgery for those
afflicted. Around 195 persons were screened – 34 were
found afflicted and will undergo free cataract surgery shortly. Around 32
persons were prescribed glasses, which will be given free to them by SYMA.
Today (24th

camp
Nearly 200 people were screened at the eye camp organised by
SYMA on Independence Day, where M. Murali, proprietor of Shree Krishna Sweets
hoisted the flag and inaugurated the camp at Sri Seervi Samaj Bhavan.
Twenty five persons were prescribed spectacles, which will be
given free by the Association in memory of its member Raghavan, who died three
years ago. Patients detected with eye problems requiring surgical treatment for
cataract were taken to Pammal Sankara Eye Hospital. For more than 10 years now,
SYMA has been conducting the camp. This time, it was organised in association
with Pammal Sri Sankara Eye Hospital, Lions Club of Chennai Venus, Sri
Kanchikamakoti Sankara Medical Trust and Seervi Samaj.
Secretary S. Sampathkumar welcomed the gathering and spoke about
the various activities of the Association. CEO of Sankara Eye Hospital Babu,
vice-president Seshadri and treasurer M. K. Sridharan spoke. The camp was
coordinated by M.A. Sadagopan.
