Mysuru's ASG Eye Hospital has launched the 'Driver Drishti Campaign' to provide free cataract surgeries for commercial vehicle drivers until February 16. The drive is part of the Government of India's 'Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan' that aims to lower road accidents by improving driving safety. On January 25, K.S. Sundar Raj, DCP of Crime and Traffic, Mysuru, officially started the campaign at the hospital. He said, "During Road Safety Month, legal awareness programmes, road safety campaigns and blood donation camps were conducted in schools and colleges here. The city records around 950-1,000 accidents annually causing deaths and disabilities. Users of two-wheelers must wear helmets for their safety." The programme will offer 1,000 free cataract surgeries on a first-come, first-served basis. Commercial drivers can also get free eye check-ups. Those diagnosed with cataract and advised surgery will get treated free at ASG Eye Hospital. For more details, contact 7849832991 or 08212341946.
