An ophthalmologist in Jalandhar has announced a new initiative to safeguard local environmental health while providing eye care services.
An ophthalmologist based in Jalandhar has unveiled a community program that pairs eye health services with environmental stewardship. The initiative, launched in early October, aims to address local pollution that can affect vision and overall health.
The program includes tree‑planting drives, waste segregation workshops, and educational sessions on the link between air quality and eye conditions. Patients visiting the clinic will receive free eye check‑ups and are encouraged to participate in the environmental activities.
Local residents have welcomed the dual focus, noting that cleaner air and better eye care are both essential for the town’s wellbeing. The doctor, who has practiced in the region for over a decade, said the project is a natural extension of his commitment to public health.
The clinic plans to partner with municipal authorities and NGOs to expand the outreach over the next year. By integrating eye care with environmental action, the initiative hopes to set a model for other healthcare providers in Punjab.
