21 December - Visit to PDG Sharat 's eye hospital


PDG Sharat and his wife Anu run a very successful eye hospital in Hanamkonda, a relatively poor rural area.
Both are opthalmic surgeons and perform the full range of operations, laser treatment and eye testing with the help of their staff.

They see around 150 patients per day and Sharat also runs eye camps and mobile clinics for remote villages. He has done hundreds of cataract operations free for those who cannot pay.
I am having an examination to see if I am suitable for laser treatment. The equipment is the very latest from the USA, Scandanavia and Japan.
Next visit I will have it done!
