The Importance of Good Sight for Truck Drivers

Truck drivers are the backbone of our economy, transporting goods across vast distances and ensuring that businesses run smoothly.

However, the demanding nature of their work often subjects them to harsh conditions that can adversely affect their vision. Poor eyesight can lead to dangerous driving situations, increasing the risk of accidents and jeopardizing not just the driver's safety, but also that of others on the road.

Restoring sight and promoting eye health among these high-risk groups is crucial for their well-being and the safety of all road users.

Akhand Jyoti's Commitment to Eye Healths

In line with this mission, Akhand Jyoti organised a successful eye screening camp at Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Sipara, sponsored by Eicher and managed by Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital (SCEH). This initiative targeted truck drivers and staff, offering them the opportunity to undergo comprehensive eye screenings to detect any vision-related issues early on.

Approximately 50 truck drivers and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) employees participated in the camp, taking a vital step towards better eye health.

Early Detection: A Key to Prevention

The event is part of Akhand Jyoti's ongoing commitment to ensuring early detection and prevention of eye issues within high-risk groups. By addressing potential eye problems before they escalate, we contribute to the overall safety and well-being of those who spend long hours on the road.

Access to timely eye care can significantly enhance drivers' quality of life, allowing them to continue their essential work with confidence.
