In the previous years, we have seen tremendous response from more than 10000 people who joined the walk and supported the cause. This year estimated 15,000 people have joined the walk.

Dr. Vandana Jain, Cornea & Cataract Surgeon and the trustee of One Vision Health and Research Foundation said, “Besides increasing awareness, events such as these help us to raise funds for poor patients. We did 800 free surgeries the previous year and distributed free spectacles to more than 8000 people. We also adopted some villages in a nearby area for free eye care. This year we plan to double the number of people and operate 1600 free cataract surgeries and distribute free spectacles to more than 16000 people. I urge all Navi Mumbaikars to work towards making Navi Mumbai a model city with highest rates of eye donation”.
