Established in 2012, our extensive activities and programs,including vision screenings across India's far corners,have helped us attain many achievements.

For the prevention of avoidable blindness, our team of experienced and qualified optometrists work to provide timely intervention in disadvantaged communities and remote areas. Through our Eye See & I Learn and Eye See & I Work programs, they are working across India to provide children and adults access to vision screenings and free spectacles.

To advance Indian Optometry, we work in awareness generation, capacity building, leadership development and promoting the research culture.
