- On 1 February 2026, we hosted the 18th Champalimaud Symposium, marking the 20th anniversary of the Champalimaud Foundation—our long-standing partner in advancing translational eye research.
From cutting-edge work in liquid biopsies, AI for global eye health, and ocular genetics, to LVPEI’s own breakthroughs in mucormycosis care, Retinopathy of Prematurity, lacrimal gland biology, uveitis, myopia, and vision science, the day showcased the depth and impact of collaborative research.

The Champalimaud Oration by Dr Tien Y Wong explored a powerful question: How do we prepare ophthalmologists for the AI era? His message underscored the need for trust, validation, and new skills as AI reshapes clinical practice worldwide.
A huge thank you to all speakers, collaborators, and clinician-scientists who are pushing boundaries to bring research from the lab to the clinic, and ultimately to the community.

- We were honoured to have Hon’ble Governor of Odisha, Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati, join us at the LVPEI Mithu Tulsi Chanrai (MTC) Campus in Bhubaneswar to commemorate a remarkable achievement at the Drusti Daan Eye Bank (DDEB).

The eye bank has now received over 20,000 donor corneas—a milestone that reflects two decades of dedicated work and the deep compassion of the people of Odisha. Each donation represents restored sight, renewed independence, and a family’s meaningful decision during a difficult time.
At the event, the Governor appreciated the eye bank’s contribution to combating corneal blindness and encouraged citizens to pledge their eyes to help those in need.

Dr Sujata Das, Medical Director of DDEB, highlighted the growth of the centre—from collecting just 30 corneas in its first five years to becoming one of the top five eye banks in the country today. The hub‑and‑spoke model, with 10 partner hospitals across the state, continues to expand eye banking services to rural and semi‑urban regions.

This milestone reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that no one remains blind for lack of a donor cornea. We encourage everyone to consider pledging their eyes and initiating these conversations within their families.

👁️ 🧠 Earlier this week, the Eye and Brain Health Symposium 2026 successfully convened experts from ophthalmology, neurology, neuroscience, public health, and child development to explore the evolving eye–brain interface.

Key themes included:
• The eye–brain interface in health and disease
• Healthy ageing and community-based brain health
• Children’s vision, neurodevelopment, and learning
• AI, oculomics, and emerging biomarkers of brain disease

A day of deep insights into the science that shapes how we see, think, and develop. Our team at LVPEI presented the Cognitive Level Enhancement through Vision Exams and Refraction (CLEVER) and The Longitudinal Eye Health Aging and Disability Study (LEADS) initiatives, and defined future translational priorities for integrated eye–brain health at LVPEI.

Earlier this month, our Mithu Tulsi Chanrai (MTC) campus in Bhubaneswar, experienced two truly inspiring events: one anchored in knowledge sharing, and the other in celebration and togetherness!

🌿 We were honoured to host the '16th Bijayananda Patnaik Memorial Lecture' on the topic 'National One Health Mission', delivered by Dr Sanghamitra Pati, Additional Director General, ICMR, and Director, ICMR–RMRC, Bhubaneswar. The lecture was attended by over 350 participants, reflecting wide interest in the subject. On this occasion, Dr Pati adopted a tree on the campus as a meaningful gesture towards environmental sustainability, and an honorary plaque was presented to her in recognition of her distinguished contributions and leadership in the field of health research.

🎉 The campus also came alive on occasion of the The 21st Foundation Day of the LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) MTC Campus, Bhubaneswar! Celebrated with great enthusiasm, the event marked over two decades of dedicated service in eye care, education, and community outreach. The occasion was graced by a vibrant array of cultural programs presented by students and staff, showcasing India’s rich heritage through traditional dance, music, and other performances. The celebration not only highlighted the artistic talents of the participants but also fostered a spirit of unity and gratitude, honoring the institution’s journey, achievements.
