Music for Sight: Chennai Event Battles Baby Blindness
6 Oct
Summary
- Charity concert to raise awareness for Retinopathy of Prematurity.
- Event features popular band AGAM at Chennai's Music Academy.
- Focus on screening premature babies from underprivileged families.
On October 10, Radhatri Nethralaya will host 'Nethra '26: A Night of Music and Hope' in Chennai. This event is dedicated to raising awareness for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a potentially blinding eye condition affecting premature babies. The evening promises a blend of music and advocacy.
The concert will feature the acclaimed Kerala-based band AGAM. It is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. at The Music Academy. ROP impacts the developing retinas of premature infants, and early treatment is crucial to prevent vision loss.
Through its public charitable trust, the Gurupriya Vision Research Foundation, Radhatri Nethralaya actively screens premature babies from underprivileged families. This initiative underscores the hospital's commitment to combating ROP and ensuring better eye health for vulnerable infants.
