Sachin Tendulkar urges people to get their eyes scanned at Eyebetes Camp
Dr Nishant Kumar, a distinguished ophthalmologist, is spearheading a campaign – ‘Eyebetes,’ to raise awareness about the correlation between diabetes and blindness among people. This drive will be conducted from August 25 till September 3, 2017 at the entrance of the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, wherein thousands of devotees come down every year for darshan.
‘Eyebetes’ will offer the worshippers an opportunity to get their sugar checked and their eyes scanned, free of charge. This noble campaign has already garnered a positive response from the masses and renowned celebrities. Cricket legend, Sachin Tendulkar, has also lent his support to this initiative by urging people to come forward and get their free check-up done.
Sachin Tendulkar commented, “Not many people are aware about blindness caused by diabetes. It is a new term – ‘Eyebetes’. With the help of this free sugar check up, eye-scan drive, Dr Kumar and team are doing a really good job. I am sure that many of you will visit Siddhivinayak temple during Ganpati this year. Early detection could help cure it faster. Do not take your health for granted, your eyes are very precious.”
