(Motihari) – On 7 October 2026, the Canossian Sisters of Sneha Sadan in Motihari organised an eye check-up camp for 13 older people from Basmanpur. The initiative was designed to bring eye-care services closer to people who often have limited access to healthcare.
Following the examinations, five people were diagnosed with cataracts, while the others were prescribed eye drops to help care for their eyesight.
On 13 October, the five patients successfully underwent surgery. The Sisters highlighted the joy and gratitude expressed by those who regained their sight: being able to see clearly again enables them to recognise the faces of their loved ones, move about with greater confidence and take part more independently in daily life.
The camp marked an important step towards improving eye health and quality of life for older people in the area. Caring for older people means, above all, promoting the dignity of every person.
