In 1989, the first retinal laser was inducted into LVPEI, with funds from friends of Dr G N Rao (Founder-Chairman) and Bausch & Lomb Europe.

Lasers have been in use ever since, to both save and correct sight among infants born premature, babies, teenagers, adults and seniors, across a range of sub-specialities.

Light, particularly lasers, has revolutionized medicine, offering minimal invasive and precision surgeries, across specialities.

In ophthalmology, lasers harness the power of light to correct vision, remove tumours and treat an array of eye conditions - Retinopathy of Prematurity(ROP), myopia, cataract and retinal diseases, glaucoma management, among others.

Every year on May 16th, the world comes together to celebrate International Day of Light, an initiative by UNESCO.

This year's theme, "Light in Our Lives," underscores the profound impact light has on our world, from illuminating our surroundings to fuelling scientific breakthroughs. In the field of medicine, lasers have become a powerful tool, revolutionizing countless procedures.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES DAY!

Many people think that vision therapy is only for children. However, adults have as much need for this type of vision care as children. Vision therapy is often effective for adults because they are motivated to improve their visual abilities.

When people have trouble using both eyes together or can't focus for great lengths of time, they do not simply grow out of these problems. Children with visual problems often become adults with visual problems.

DID YOU KNOW?

It is estimated that 1 in 10 children have a vision problem severe enough to affect their learning in school, but school vision screenings can miss up to half of these problems. A comprehensive vision exam with a developmental optometrist checks all aspects of eye health, vision, and visual skills, and can ensure you or your child is not struggling unnecessarily with an undiagnosed vision problem.
