A New Dawn for Reena: A Story of Light and Hope from Jaunpur

In the quiet hills of Jaunpur block in Tehri Garhwal, lived a woman named Reena — spirited, strong, and full of dreams, but for the longest time, locked in darkness.

For over three years, Reena had been completely blind in both eyes. What started as a fading blur soon turned into total blindness. The simple joys of life — cooking, walking to the temple, — became distant memories. She had to rely heavily on her family members even for her most basic daily needs.

“I felt like a burden,” Reena recalls. “I couldn’t even make a cup of tea on my own.”

But one day, hope arrived.

As part of its outreach mission, Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute (NEI) organized a free eye screening camp in Reena’s village. Her family brought her there with cautious hope. She was screened, diagnosed with mature cataract in both eyes, and immediately registered for surgery — free of cost.

Within days, Reena was taken to the Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute, located near Rishikesh. The care she received was compassionate, respectful, and professional. After a successful cataract surgery, something miraculous happened — Reena could see again.

“I saw my mother’s face after three years,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion. “And I saw the mountains again — my mountains.”

Life has changed for Reena — completely. From being dependent, she is now contributing again to her family’s household work. She prepares meals, fetches water, walks to the local market — all on her own.

Her confidence is back. Her dignity is restored.

 Reena’s Story is One Among Thousands

Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute has conducted over 1.87 lakh surgeries, many like Reena’s — at no cost to the patient, supported by CSR partners and kind-hearted donors.

But there are many more Reenas still waiting in the shadows, hoping for a ray of light.

 Join Us in Restoring Sight, Dignity & Hope

Your support can help transform lives — just like Reena’s.
Contribute to Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute’s mission and become part of this noble cause.

Screen Time & Kids’ Eyes: What Every Parent Should Know

In today’s digital world, children are exposed to screens more than ever — from online classes and homework to games and cartoons. But how much screen time is too much? And what effect does it have on your child’s eyes?

At Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute (NEI), we see a growing number of children experiencing eye strain and vision issues. As a parent, here’s what you need to know to protect your child’s vision in the digital age.

📱 How Screen Time Affects Children’s Eyes

Children’s eyes are still developing, making them more sensitive to the effects of prolonged screen exposure. Excessive screen time can lead to:

1. Digital Eye Strain (Computer Vision Syndrome)

Symptoms include:

• Eye fatigue
• Headaches
• Dry eyes
• Blurred vision
• Neck or shoulder pain

2. Increased Risk of Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Studies show that extended near work (like screen use) is linked to a rising incidence of myopia in children, especially those under age 12.

3. Poor Sleep Patterns

Blue light from screens can disrupt melatonin levels, making it harder for children to fall asleep and stay asleep.

👁️ Warning Signs Your Child May Be Experiencing Eye Strain

Keep an eye out for:

• Frequent eye rubbing
• Squinting or tilting the head
• Complaints of headaches
• Sitting too close to screens
• Avoiding reading or writing tasks

If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule an eye exam.

🕐 Recommended Screen Time by Age

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics:

✅ 7 Eye-Friendly Screen Habits for Kids

1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
2. Keep Screens at Arm’s Length: Around 18–24 inches from the eyes.
3. Use Proper Lighting: Avoid glare and harsh lighting in the room.
4. Limit Screen Time Before Bed: At least 1 hour of screen-free time before sleep.
5. Encourage Outdoor Play: 1–2 hours of natural light daily helps eye development.
6. Blink Often: Teach kids to blink consciously to prevent dry eyes.
7. Schedule Regular Eye Exams: Catch issues early—even if your child doesn’t complain.

👨‍⚕️ When to See an Eye Doctor

Even if your child seems fine, an annual pediatric eye exam is recommended. Many vision problems are silent and can affect academic performance, social development, and confidence.

🎯 Final Takeaway

Screens are here to stay — and that’s okay. The goal isn’t to eliminate screen time, but to balance it and build healthy vision habits early. Your child’s eyes will thank you later!

📅 Book your child’s eye check-up at Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute today.
Let’s work together to protect the next generation’s vision. 👁️💙

Combined (PG) Institute of Medical Sciences Dehradun organized a National Optometry Conference Beyond the Lens on the occasion of World Optometry Day 23rd March 2025.

Mr. Shashi Shekhar Singh HOD Optometry department at NEI presented the topic on Low Vision assessment and management.

This occasion was graced by Dr Sunita Tamta DG Health (Uttarakhand)  as a Chief Guest.

As World Glaucoma Week comes to an end, the NEI team proudly stands together, united in our mission to raise awareness about the importance of regular glaucoma check-ups. By wearing matching t-shirts and holding our banner high, we aim to spread the message that early detection is key to preventing vision loss. Let’s continue to prioritize eye health and support those affected by this silent disease.

Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute, in collaboration with Mission for Vision and Titan Company Limited (Project Happy Eyes), successfully conducted an eye care awareness program for school teachers in Jaunpur Block on dated 31.1.2025. A total of 42 teachers participated in this interactive session, aimed at equipping them with essential skills to conduct basic vision screening and promote eye health awareness among students.
The training focused on the use of the Snellen chart for vision checks, enabling teachers to identify students who may need further eye examinations. Additionally, the session covered important aspects of spectacle care and general eye health, empowering teachers to educate students on the importance of proper eye care.

The interactive nature of the training ensured active participation, with teachers expressing enthusiasm about their newfound knowledge. They appreciated the opportunity to learn about vision care and are eager to impart this knowledge to their students, ensuring that early detection of vision issues becomes an integral part of school health programs.

This initiative marks a significant step towards improving vision health in school-going children, reinforcing the commitment of Nirmal Ashram Eye Institute, Mission for Vision, and Titan Company Limited (Project Happy Eyes) to enhancing eye care accessibility in the region.
