Welcome to this podcast which is named as “Let There Be Sight” Podcast. All of you know that doctors are often focused on not only direct patient care, but also disease prevention which is very important. Sharing knowledge about diseases is an important element in disease prevention. Doctors can share information or knowledge to their patients in multiple ways like one-on-one counseling when they are here in the OPD for their checkups or through patient's community education sessions as well.
