| Abstract: | Prevalence of cataract related blindness in India accounts for 62.2 per cent of the blindness. As catarct develops with ageing which gradually reduces the quality of vision, factors causing cataract is preventable with early detection and timely surgery of it with the replacement of the old lens with the intraocular lens. The National Programme on Conrol of Blindness (NPCB) in India stresses on expanding cataract surgery to rural and tribal areas by availing modern medical facilities in the sector. This requires the social work interventions on various levels to achieve the programme objectives. To understand the pre-surgery and post surgery status of the cataract patients and to discuss the possible scope of social work intervention, this study was carried out in a backwa district of Odisha state. For the study data was collected through interview schedule and informal discussions with key informants. The study found pre-surgery psychological barriers and quality of services as constraints to achieve programme objectives and suggests the social work means for proper implementation of the programmes. |
