The very vision of Sankara was born from the
need to provide quality eye care to everyone,
regardless of socio-economic, religious,
linguistic and geographical backgrounds. Once
Sankara Eye Hospital was established in
Coimbatore, one of the first initiatives that the
team undertook was to conduct exclusive
outreach camps to raise awareness, screen and
detect eye defects and ailments and treat these,
where possible. Over the years, the outreach
camps added a host of services; today, SECI has
a Comprehensive Community Eye Health

The ophthalmic field has evolved and rapid changes in diagnosis of eye ailments and their
management. Various continuing medical education initiatives are being organized to update the
knowledge and skills of the spectrum of cadres involved in eye care delivery. The first BSc
Optometry programme in the state of Karnataka has commenced at our institution at Bangalore.
The Sankara College of Optometry is currently allowed to enroll 20 students per batch.
Realising the need for well trained and qualified mid-level ophthalmic personnel (MLOP), the
hospital has run a diploma – vision care technician since 2004. Over 400 technicians are today
available to the eye care industry from this programme.
A health care system is only as good as the personnel in it. There is a uniform shortage of eye care
personnel in the South East Asia Region. HR needs in ophthalmology range from an
ophthalmologist, optometrist to mid level ophthalmic personnel and Field workers. In addition the
programme requires administrators and ancillary staff such as orthoptists and opticians.

6. Sankara Eye : Eye Bank
Sankara Eye Bank at Sankara Eye Foundation holds
a very special place; it was here that the journey
toward bringing light into the lives of millions
began. Today, Sankara Eye Bank, a model for the
country, gets a pair of donor eyes almost every day.
Thousands have benefitted from this gift of sight,
through corneal transplant surgeries.
‘Paropakarartham idam sareeram’ (This body is
meant to serve others) -- this is the guiding principle
for Sankara Eye Bank .

7. Sankara Eye : Children's Eye care
It estimated that with the current global rate one child goes blind each minute!
In developing countries 60% of children die within a year of going blind. Of
the 45 million people worldwide who are blind, around 1.4 million are
children under 16. The vast majority of childhood blindness happens before
the age of five - a period when 75 per cent of learning is through sight.
Blindness early in life (or childhood blindness as it is called) leads not
only to the loss of future productive years of a young child but also
means the deprivation of the society of the immense potential that the
child could have had otherwise in the years to come. In terms of blind
years (number of blinds x length of life) it is a huge 75 million blind
years globally second only to cataract!
