On our way back from Jiri to Kathmandu Drs. Suman ji, Sandy ji and Matt ji (Drs. Sarah ji and Janardan ji had to leave a day earlier due to other work-related commitments back in the US) stopped by Tilganga's Community Eye Centre in Charikot. The purpose of these Community Eye Centers is to offer comprehensive eye care services in rural areas of Nepal. Services include comprehensive screening, minor surgery, referral services and various eye health education and awareness programs. Construction of the Charikot Community Eye Center building was completed with the support of the Shikshya Foundation Nepal, an organization that seeks to oversee and facilitate the education of Nepali children in need from primary school through secondary school and higher education. Since the start of the Jiri Eye Study the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology has now established a permanent Community Eye Center in Jiri.
