Relief Camp wherever posted.
He happened to be in the top slot for many new procedures that were
adopted by the Ophthalmologists of India. He was among the first few
to start 10/0 nylon stitches. He was among the first few to start the
intra ocular lens during cataract surgery. He was
first to start Keratoplasty, popularly known as “Corneal Grafting” in
this region. He was among

one
eye bank and steered it into a posh eye bank. He worked very hard
to get the money for the same.
He started the hospital in a very humble way. A two storied
building was converted into a hospital where we used to live in
first floor and the ground floor was converted into a hospital
with minimal facilities. |

|
In the year 1977 he constructed his own building . He
was so convinced about the arrangements of upper residence and ground
floor as hospital, that he made the same arrangements here. He was
quite updated and made his hospital a modern one according to the
believes and the facilities available those days.
By 1979 Ophthalmologists from all over the world were turning “
Microscopic Surgeon”. He also adopted to the situation and became the
ophthalmologist operating through the microscope. If he has the
maximum number of free cataract surgeries in blind relief camps to his
credit, he also standardized the rates of cataract surgery in this
region.
  
It was a great relief to the fellow
ophthalmologists. He always
believed to involve the local junior ophthalmologists in blind relief
camps so that the local ophthalmologists do not suffer. He never
hesitated in referring the cases to those junior ophthalmologists if
some cases came from those localities. He talked very high about the
ophthalmologists if the operated cases by them visited Dr Bharat
Prasad Kashyap.
