Advancing Eye Care Through Asha Kirana – An Initiative of the Govt of Karnataka.
In collaboration with C-CAMP, the Government of Karnataka’s Health and Family Welfare Department, and ACT For Health, we are delivering advanced eye screening solutions through the Asha Kirana program. This initiative will provide comprehensive eye care for 8-9 lakh individuals across eight districts, focusing on early detection and prevention.
As part of the Karnataka State vision care program—Asha Kirana under the National Health Mission’s National Programme for Control of Blindness & Visual Impairment (NPCBVI)—we are implementing ophthalmic devices that utilize digital solutions and cloud-based technology to eradicate preventable blindness in a wide age group from 5 to 80 years.
Our 3nethra aberro and 3nethra classic 6.4 devices have been deployed across 8 districts of Karnataka, including key regions like Bijapur, Chitradurga, Dharwad, and Kolar. These AI-powered imaging solutions identify diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. Their portability enables teleophthalmology, ensuring patients in remote areas receive timely and accurate diagnoses.
