One of the major reasons for blindness in India is cataract. Its a painful picture that even in this age because of cataract there are people living in total blindness. Rohit Shah trust was floated with the idea to give service to people in the field of ophthalmology but primarily to help needy and poor patients restore their vision! With this aim Thane Eye Care (TEC) hospital was setup to realize the objectives of the trust.

Although extremely well equipped, charges at TEC hospital, thanks to the trust, have been kept to bare minimum. 50% lesser than the routine market charges. Another note worthy aspect of this hospital being it has maintained total transparency in the operation charges by avoiding hidden costs. In most of the hospitals a cataract package invariably does not include the lens cost, cost of investigations, cost of dark glasses etc. With TEC this is not the case, even dark glasses after operation are inclusive in the package.

While those affording will get all the above mentioned facilities at very competitive price there will be many others who will still not be able to afford even the discounted rates of the trust. That is why the concept of DHRISHTI DAAN scheme that the trust has floated takes seed. Amongst the 5 senses that God has gifted man the one that we hold very closely is sense of sight. No wonder then donating sight to a person is looked upon as the highest donation of one human to another.

Any person willing to enroll for this scheme can donate a sum in the multiples of Rs.2000/- Every Rs.2000/- donated will ensure a cataract operation following which an extremely poor and non affording patient will have vision. The Trust wishes to concentrate primarily on patients from the rural areas of Thane district. The patient and his financial condition would be minutely scrutinized to make best use of the donated funds. The joy of the one who has been gifted his vision after many years of blindness cannot be described. We have experienced the tears of joy and the thanks giving that follows on such occasions. By donating Rs.2000/- only we are inviting you to share with us this inexplicable joyous moment.

Cheques will be accepted in the name of Rohit Shah Medical Trust and Research Center. The trust has 80G exemption.
