On 12th August 2025, the NCC Unit of Arasu Engineering College organized an Eye Checkup Camp within the college premises to provide free eye screening facilities to cadets and create awareness about maintaining good eye health. With increasing academic pressure and digital device usage, such initiatives are essential for student well-being.

A total of 34 cadets actively participated in the camp conducted with a team of qualified ophthalmologists and paramedical staff. Each cadet underwent comprehensive examination including visual acuity testing, refraction tests, color blindness tests, and general screening for infections. The doctors identified common issues like eye strain and minor refractive errors, provided prescriptions and eye drops to needy cadets, and conducted an awareness session on harmful effects of excessive screen time, blinking exercises, proper reading habits, and Vitamin A rich diet for better eyesight.

The program concluded with distribution of eye care pamphlets and basic medicines. The camp ensured early detection of eye problems and educated cadets on preventive measures for healthy vision. It successfully fulfilled its objective of free eye checkup and awareness creation, reflecting NCC’s dedication towards health promotion and social service among youth.
