Sharat maxi vision to conduct free eye checkups in remote villages of Parakala in Telangana as part of its mission to make the society blind free. The parakala Vision center will cover approximately 50 villages. Many people have a fear that they need to shell out huge expenses if they go for eye checkups in cities like Hyderabad and Warangal which ultimately impact the vision of many.

Sharat MaxiVision is planning to open 60 such Vision centers in Telangana by the end of 2023. Optometrists are available in all the Vision centers apart from weekly visits by ophthalmologists / Eyecare specialist doctors to address any eye-related problem. People living in remote areas/villages can now access these facility centers to undergo eye checkups at a nominal charge. Sharat Maxi vision will offer free eye checkups to the poor on submission of substantial proofs.
All the basic eye problems like refractive error corrections/presbyopia etc. are rectified by the vision center doctors/optometrists. Depending upon the severity of the problems patients are referred to tertiary centers in Hyderabad, Warangal, Karim Nagar, Khammam to undergo further examinations.
