Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Thursday, 3 October, ordered an inquiry after four persons claimed to have lost eyesight following cataract removal surgeries at the district hospital in Chhindwara.
Chhindwara is Nath's constituency.
The government will bear the cost of treatment of the four patients, he added.
“All efforts will be made to restore their vision,” Nath tweeted.
Kalabai Wankhede (65), Dafelal Dhakaria (62), Munna Chore (50) and Ramrati Bai (54), all local residents, were operated upon for cataract on September 25.
Two days later, when the bandages were removed, they had no vision, they claimed on Wednesday.
However, hospital authorities have not yet confirmed if they have really lost vision or it is a temporary problem.
Recently, over a dozen patients lost vision in one eye after alleged botched cataract surgeries at a private hospital in Indore in the state.
