| Standing in the new town of Ratnapura, 'Nethsetha' Eye Hospital is serving as a haven for the less fortunate. Gleaming beneath the flag of the Lions Club International, Nethsetha eye hospital is providing admirable eye treatments free for those who cannot afford expensive operations. | ||
| The remarkable features that are obvious in the hospital premises are kindness and will to serve. Following the Lions' theme 'We Serve' Nethsetha eye hospital is spreading its rays of aid not only to those who live in Ratnapura, but also to everyone in the island. The main purpose of Nethsetha is to serve the society and the less fortunate.We are performing free eye operations for those who cannot afford operation expenses. | ||
| Nethsetha eye hospital was started by Lion Asoka Z Gunasekara who is the current Chairman of the institute. It was started in 1st August 2011 and surgeries were started in 12th January 2012. The hospital is a donation from Lions in Finland for the admirable service of Lion Asoka Z Gunasekara throughout the years.Our Chairman found that those who are in need of this service are closer to Ratnapura. Specially those who work in estates have no money to get the operations done related to eye, specially when it comes to cataract operation that comes with aging. Therefore it was decided to build the eye hospital in Ratnapura | ||
| We focus on cataract operation because it is the most common condition.Our staff is very talented and caring. The surgeons are very qualified and experienced. We have reputed surgeons and a big crew of sisters, nurses and attandants. Our staff was trained in Sankara Nethralaya hospital in India and thus they are quite skilled. The most important quality of our staff is kindness. We call every patient 'amma' and 'thaaththa' so that they feel like home. And we are doing our best to do a better service together as a team. | ||
| We use the latest technologies for surgeries and our equipment are of the latest technologies because those were donated from Finland. We have two very good wards withfacilities for 17 patients in each ward.Apart from that we have two good rooms with facilities for both the patient and caretaker. In future we wish to expand thefacilities by adding more wards, a kitchenand other related facilities. | ||
| We serve peoples who can affordable to pay and get the operation done too. That is the way we earn money to perform the free operations for those who cannot afford. | ||
| If one needs to get the operation done for free the patient could come through the Lions Club of his/her area. That specific Lions club should prove that the patient is from a low income family. But if the patient is coming here directly, he/she should bring a Gamasevaka certificate and a Divisional secretariat certificate certifying he/she is from a low income family. | ||
| We treat everyone equally irrespective to the ethnicity, religion or economical strengths. Although we are in Sabaragamuwa province, anyone from anywhere is welcome here. When it comes to senior citizens, we treat them in the way we treat our own parents. Their blessing is the most important income for this institution. As a team, we assure to provide you quality service in the shortest period possible. |

The longer someone has diabetes, the more likely he or she will get DR. People with this condition may not notice any changes to their vision until the damage to the eyes is severe. This is why it is so important for people with diabetes to have a comprehensive eye exam every year.

Farsightedness (called hyperopia) is when you can see clearly in the distance but blurry up close. If you are older than 40 and have trouble reading small print or focusing up close, this is usually due to a condition called presbyopia.

Read MoreAMD is a disease that blurs the sharp, central vision needed to see straight-ahead. It affects the part of the eye called the macula that is found in the center of the retina. The macula lets a person see fine detail and is needed for things like reading and driving. The more common dry form of AMD can be treated in the early stages to delay vision loss and possibly prevent the disease from progressing to the advanced stage. Taking certain vitamins and minerals may reduce the risk of developing advanced AMD.
