The CSR Trust of Commercial Bank of Ceylon recently donated a Slit
Lamp to the National Eye Hospital as part of the Bank's CSR initiatives
in the sphere of Health.
The Slit Lamp facilitates an examination of the frontal structures
and posterior segment of the human eye, including the eyelid, sclera,
conjunctiva, iris, natural crystalline lens, and cornea. The binocular
Slit Lamp examination provides a stereoscopic magnified view of the eye
structures in detail, enabling anatomical diagnoses to be made for a
variety of eye conditions.
According to hospital authorities, a daily patient turnout of around
200 is recorded at the eye clinic where the Slit Lamp is installed.
Other CSR initiatives of the Bank include its main activity of
donating IT Laboratories to schools, awarding scholarships to
undergraduates, assistance to war heroes, preserving cultural heritage
and other regional CSR Events. |
