Light In Darkness

Close your eyes, use other senses to live life for an hour, and you’ll realise how much we take the gift of sight for granted. While vision impairment often has no cure, the helplessness that comes with it, can be tackled. Vision Aid Charitable Services shows the way in the world of darkness.

With low vision or vision impairment often transferred genetically from the first to the third generation, the often untreatable condition hampers life right since childhood. Not only does it bring down grades at school, it also brings down the person’s confidence. Dr. MS Raju understood the magnitude of this problem as he travelled the world, and compared the support that other nations are able to afford to the vision impaired, vis a vis India. And so, in 2004, at the age of 70 years, he initiated a change that would bring in low cost assistive technologies for them. Vision Aid was thus established.
