The facility includes a Mobile Operation Theater loaded with microscope and other surgical equipment. The duration of the eye camps at each location is about one week. It attracts mainly poor people, from nearby as well as far-flung areas. All services are provided free of charge. Each camp, on the average provides medical treatment to 3,000 people and surgical treatment (restoration of vision) to approximately 300 individuals.
