Small stall, big difference: How glasses made Surendra’s work easier
Surendra Sethi is 66 years old and lives in the village of Bira Pratapur in the state of Odisha in India. Surendra runs a small coconut stall on the side of the road where he sells around 50 coconuts a day and earns between 400 and 500 rupees. He uses this income to support himself and his wife.
Recently, Surendra has had increasing difficulty seeing up close - especially when counting money or reading. Thanks to a rural eye camp organized by GoodVision, he received a pair of glasses. Since then, his work has become much easier, and Surendra no longer gets confused with the change.
