Vision for a blind-free India

The Foundation’s association with Sankara Netralaya aims to provide financial aid to the economically weaker sections of society. Apart from converting Lady Willingdon Hospital into the Jaslok Community Ophthalmic Centre and purchasing Heidelberg Retinal Angiogram II to diagnose retinal problems in diabetic patients, the Foundation has initiated the building of a new community hospital. This hospital aims to offer 12,000 free surgeries every year and will conduct training programs in a variety of fields associated with ophthalmology.
