To fight blindness, Big B launches an eye care campaign.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan who was last seen in Badla, has launched a โSee Nowโ campaign, centred in UP, to help end avoidable blindness.The campaign will deploy creative content across five key districts โ Unnao, Lucknow, Raebareli, Lakhimpur Kheri and Sitapur โ via radio, television, print, social media, Whatsapp and SMS to provide information on eye health, local services and how to access them.
Vision problems are extremely common in India. The basic lack of understanding and awareness of how eye health works, leads to the stigma around simple and easy treatments. People are often not aware of availability in their area of quality eye care services. It really is simple to avoid a lot of different sorts of blindness by preventative care,โ Amitabh said in a statement.
