<p>A cataract is the leading cause of blindness in most countries. And in India, nearly two-thirds of blindness cases are caused by cataract alone. Most people, ignore minor eye ailments, which becomes a severe issue in the person&rsquo;s successive years in life. India has up to 12 million cases of people suffering from blindness and the numbers are expected to go up to 20 million by 2020. And so to combat the severity of the problem, we have established a &ldquo;Charitable eye hospital&rdquo;. EyeMantra believes in fighting the lack of awareness about eye ailments, at the front foot, and to succeed in our holistic mission, we provide treatments with the state of the art technology, to poor people at no cost. According to a survey done in certain rural Indian districts, it was found that the severity of eye ailments can also have alarming psychological implications. Many people were found to be deprived of deserving employment opportunities, some went into depression and some lost their self-confidence. EyeMantra believes in combating this obstacle on the psychological side also. And so we provide &ldquo;after surgery psychological counseling&rdquo; to our patients so that they never lose their morale and always keep their hopes high.</p>
