The initiative was led by the Sangat of Leeds (UK) and was jointly inaugurated by Makkhan Singh, Atma Singh, Baljit and Davinder Maan.
During the camp, 445 underprivileged individuals received eye examinations. Of these, 56 patients underwent free eye surgeries, including the implantation of foldable lenses. Free eyeglasses were also distributed to those in need and 320 patients were provided with essential medications, all at no cost.
Eye surgeon Dr S. Rajan addressed the gathering, educating attendees about eye care and the importance of post-operative precautions. He stressed even minor negligence could lead to severe consequences, such as vision loss and urged individuals to seek medical advice promptly if they experience any eye-related problems.
At the end of the camp, the organisers expressed gratitude to Dr Rajan and his team for their efforts. The event was also attended by several dignitaries, including Narinder Kumar, Parminder Singh and Narinder Singh Dosanjh, among others.
