TEACHING WHOLE OPHTHALMOLOGY IN A SINGLE CONFERENCE What happens if we are served Bihari,Punjabi,Bengali,Gujarati,Assamese,South Indian,Thai &Continental cuisines at the same time? Most of it goes waste. Apart from the main dish, if we are given one or two substitute dishes, then it be wasted, rather it will be relished. won’t In Conferences, we try to accommodate all subject and all speakers; so, after an hour or so, the halls become vacant and the delegates are seen in Trade Fair or relaxing with a cup of coffee. Therefore, there should be a specific theme for every conference to keep the interest of the delegates alive. CATARACT, GLAUCOMA, DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AND EYE CHECK UP IN SCHOOLS We are tackling the problem of Cataract and Glaucoma nicely-creating awareness about Glaucoma in general masses and walking on the path towards making Bihar a cataract free zone, bringing the backlog to zero. But we are not paying sufficient attention to Diabetic Retinopathy. A mass awareness campaign should be started and continued for general population, Physicians and Village doctors with the active cooperation of Ophthaalmologists &Retinologists to catch this dragon in its infancy only-as India is going to be the Diabetic Capital of the world. Eye check up, refraction, prescription and free distribution of glasses is being done on a routine basis in rural areas and well orchestrated by Bihar Govt. SQUINT The eye ailment, which remains neglected most, is Squint-one eyed blindness. Majority of parents don’t pay any attention to it due to CHALTA HAI attitude. They become serious only when the girl attains marriageable age or the boy goes for job and gets disqualified because of Squint. General Ophthalmologists also give correct advice to the patients in this regard because of don’t misconceptions and a sort of detached attitude towards Squint. We should fight to tackle this problem in childhood only so that Binocularity is gained and maintained and no person is ashamed of his /her facial features due to Squint and has to cover his /her face in public or avert the gaze of inquisitive and taunting society.
