Almost 40 years ago，a community service organization started providing eye care in Gujarat State，in western India.

The Rotary Club of Navsari operates an eye hospital and 9 area eye centers in and around Navsari，whose services are for the poorest people.The group opened the hospital，the Rotary Eye Institute of Navsari，in 1970.India has only about one ophthalmologist for every 120,000 people.The Institute，however，has ten such specially trained eye doctors.It has restored or improved the eyesight of thousands of patients.Many people with eye problems cannot easily get to a big city for examinations and treatment.They live in villages and have no transportation.The Institute established eye centers called camps in places far from the city.Teams from it travel as far as 150 kilometers to see patients.People go to their nearest camp，where medical workers examine their eyes.The workers look for conditions including glaucoma (青光眼)，night blindness and other problems.Some people are found to have cataracts(白内障)，abnormal growths on the eye that can lead to loss of eyesight.India has about 13 million people with the condition.Cataract patients get free operations to correct the problem.

Rotary groups also operate eye banks.Doctors at these centers replace damaged eyes with the healthy eyes of donors who have just died.One such center is the Rotary Rajan Eye Bank.It operates in cooperation with the Rajan Eye Care Hospital in Chennai.The Eye Bank opened in 1996.Hundreds of patients have received new corneas from donors since then.The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that transmits light.2 million people in India are blind because of problems of the cornea.The Rotary Rajan Eye Bank holds continuing eye donation campaigns.It urges people to leave the gift of sight to others when they die.
