Bhadu Devi & Sukariya Devi

"Their gratitude reminds us why we strive to make quality eye care accessible to all."

Odisha Bamboo Artisans & Teachers Community Eye Camp GoodVision Glasses

Bhadu Devi and Sukariya Devi are not just skilled craftswomen - they are keepers of a tradition. As experienced bamboo artisans, they have spent years creating intricate designs and, just as importantly, teaching younger generations the delicate art of bamboo craft. Their work is both livelihood and legacy.

But for months, their declining vision had begun to undermine everything they had built. The fine, precise work that bamboo craft demands - the careful weaving, the intricate patterns, the subtle details - requires clear, accurate sight. As their vision worsened, the quality of their work suffered, and their ability to teach others was compromised. They struggled to continue, unsure where to turn.

"With their vision restored, both artisans are back to creating beautiful bamboo designs and inspiring others through their craft."

When they attended a Care Netram community eye care camp, their eyes were tested by trained professionals. The diagnosis was straightforward - both women needed corrective glasses. They were each provided with a pair of GoodVision Glasses through the camp, suited precisely to their vision needs.

The impact was immediate. With their vision restored, Bhadu Devi and Sukariya Devi returned to their work with renewed energy and precision. The intricate bamboo designs they had feared they could no longer create came back into focus - literally and figuratively. They resumed teaching, sharing their expertise with the same clarity and confidence as before.

Their gratitude was sincere and heartfelt - a reminder, as they put it, of why this kind of care matters so deeply. When skilled people can see clearly, craft is preserved, knowledge is passed on, and communities are richer for it.
