On February 20, 2025, Sitapur Eye Hospital hosted a Continuing Medical Education (CME) program as part of Low Vision Awareness Month. The event aimed to educate students, faculty, and healthcare professionals about low vision and its management.
The program featured a comprehensive presentation on low vision, highlighting its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. This was followed by a demonstration of low vision devices, showcasing the latest assistive technologies available to support individuals with low vision.
Approximately 140 students and faculty members from three other institutes participated in the training program, gaining valuable insights and hands-on experience with low vision devices.
The event was graced by the presence of Chief Guest BSA Akhilesh Pratap Singh, Director Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, CMO, CAO Sitapur Eye Hospital.
The CME program was a huge success, providing a valuable learning experience for all participants. It helped raise awareness about low vision and emphasized the importance of early detection and intervention. The event also highlighted the role of assistive technologies in improving the quality of life for individuals with low vision.
Fifteen-year-old Nidhi Devi from Sitapur was born with anophthalmos, a condition that left her without visual development from birth. Yet, despite the challenges she faced, Nidhi’s journey has been defined not by limitations, but by her remarkable determination to learn, grow, and become independent.
Nidhi began her schooling through Braille at a local primary school. While she worked hard, her daily life was filled with difficulties—especially with mobility and navigating unfamiliar spaces. Her turning point came in 2024, when she visited the Vision-Aid Resource center at the Sitapur Eye Hospital, a decision that opened the door to life-changing support.
Nidhi’s journey shows how assistive technology, dedicated training, and compassionate support can transform the life of a child with visual impairment. Her determination, coupled with the right resources, is paving the way for a bright and independent future.
She continues to inspire everyone around her with her courage and resilience—and her story stands as a powerful reminder of what is possible when opportunity meets perseverance.
My name is Nidhi Devi, a 16-year-old from Sitapur studying in Class 8. I love singing, playing the dholak, and dream of becoming a teacher.
In 2024, I began losing my ability to walk, read, and do daily tasks. I felt frightened and unsure about my future.
My life changed when I visited the Vision-Aid Resource Center at Sitapur Eye Hospital. I received mobility training, a cane that restored my confidence, and a mobile phone with the TalkBack app. I now study using My Books and EasyReader, and I’m learning to use Smart Vision Glasses, which help me experience the world more independently.
Today, I walk on my own, study better, and feel stronger and hopeful again. With Vision-Aid’s support, my dreams feel within reach.
