It\u2019s not about growing in life, but growing with responsibility of exploring what we can give back to the society is important. A white dot in the child\u2019s eye is a cataract, while taking a photo if we spot a white dot in the child\u2019s eye, it is important that we reach out to an eye specialist without delay, any delay can lead to a vision loss, he said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Vishva Karthikeya\u00a0<\/strong>said, we are aware of cataract in adults, but kids too have the problem of cataract when eye develops between the ages of 6 to 8 years. Kids are the future of our country and it is our responsibility to ensure they are healthy, we need to identify cataract at the earliest and consult an ophthalmologist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Several competitions and fun activities are being organized across the LVPEI network during November 7\u201314, 2024 &#8211; painting\/fancy dress\/elocution\/clay modelling\/ Braille reading\/ pottery sessions.

Cataract not only affects the vision but the overall development of the child. It is for us to ensure that none of the children miss on this opportunity and ensure a bright future for the child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dr Prashant Garg,\u00a0<\/strong>Executive Chairman,\u00a0LV Prasad Eye Institute; said, early detection ensures better outcome and this is particularly important for childhood cataracts. If the child doesn\u2019t have clear vision, his brain development is affected. As healthcare warriors we have to ensure that our society is educated, once the society is educated, they have a better health. It is our responsibility to spread the message among public that how it is important for them to be conscious about some of the debilitating diseases and if they find anyone having that, they should act immediately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>About L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Established in 1987, with the vision,\u201d to create excellent and equitable eye care systems that reach all those in need,\u201d the L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI), a comprehensive eye health facility, is a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Prevention of Blindness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">In pursuance of this vision, LVPEI clinicians and scientists work at the cutting edge of eye research.
