Ampati, March 7: A remarkable two-day Cataract Screening and Operation Camp was organized in Ampati, bringing hope and renewed vision to hundreds of people in need. The camp witnessed an overwhelming response, with 480 patients screened for eye-related ailments. Among them, 73 individuals were diagnosed with cataracts, and 55 successful surgeries were performed, significantly improving the lives of those affected.
