The Eyebetes Foundation has been organising a free screening for diabetes, blood pressure and common blinding eye diseases like diabetes of the eyes, glaucoma, cataract, aging, and rare infections and inherited diseases. At the ongoing Eyebetes event conducted at Siddhivinayak Temple, Prabhadevi, approximately 400 policemen underwent screening for diabetes and blood pressure.

Diabetes can lead to cardiovascular problems, including heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. In order to educate people, and create awareness, Dr Nishant Kumar from Eyebetes Foundation and his team organised free screening events in areas of mass congregation where people are offered free tests for blood pressure, blood sugar, vision assessment and screening for common blinding eye conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, aging changes in the retina and cataract using state-of-the-art technology.
