Abstract
The Problem of Blindness is as old as mankind itself, while the problem is universal but its magnitude is much larger in India, one fifth of total blind population of the world is believed to be in India . Lack of knowledge about the role of nutrition,personal hygiene, prompt treatment in case of eye injury contributes considerably in multiplying the incidence of avoidable blindness . some believes and practices in certain community of using collegium in the form of kajal or surma coupled with in difference towards personal hygiene also contributes to spread of eye infections in addition to this quackery is rampant all over the country because of inadequate stage of qualified eye care services particularly in rural areas. Whatever services are available those are not near by homes, even manpower resources are being underutiliseddue to rural- urban imbalances thus blindness is one of the most dreadful affliction of human being as not onlyit makes the life measurable but a blind person becomes liability to a family, society and country as a whole .
