Kakching, October 31 2010:
One opthalmic Assistant needs to be posted at every Public Health Centre located in different parts of Manipur to protect people's eyes from getting blind as eyes are the most important sense organs of human beings.
This was stated by Dr M Lala, (Retd) Professor and Head of Department of Opthalmology, RIMS during a function held at Thoubal organised by District Blindness Control Society, Thoubal to observe the World Sight Day 2010 .
Dr Lala, who was the chief guest at the function, said that once upon a time, it used to be very difficult to perform operation in cataract disease.
But today, it can be performed free of cost and successfully without any error.
However, there have been patients who refused to get their eyes, affected by cataract.
