Reports from Amritsar had said on Thursday that at least 15 persons lost
their eyesight after an operation at an eye camp organised by an NGO in
Gurdaspur district.
While 16 persons belonged to villages of Amritsar the rest were from Gurdaspur district. All of them were admitted in city ENT hospitals of Amritsar and Gursdaspur.
Civil Surgeon Amritsar, Rajiv Bhalla, had said all the patients were operated at an eye camp in Ghuman village of Gurdaspur district around ten days ago.
The incident emerged when all the 16 patients, who belonged to Amritsar, approached Deputy Commissioner Bhagat to lodge a complaint against the NGO and doctors concerned.
The cataract surgery in the eye camp was performed under "severe unhygienic condition" whereupon eyes of all the 15 patients were found damaged permanently, Bhalla had said.
Before organising the eye camp, mandatory permission was required from the district Administration and Civil Surgeons of Gurdaspur and Amritsar but all the norms were not followed, he had said. All the affected patients were above the age of 60 with poor economical condition.
