aehpondicherry To eliminate Needless Blindness by providing compassionate and high quality eye care to all.

28/11/2025

At Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, sustainability is not just a policy—it is a way of life we practice every single day.
Our hospital and hostel buildings are thoughtfully designed as separate spaces, creating a healthy and organized environment for everyone who serves here.

What makes our campus truly special is our community.
Nearly 80% of our doctors, sisters, and staff live within the campus. This close-knit setup naturally encourages a culture of walking. Instead of relying on vehicles for daily movement, we choose to walk to work, to the hostel, to the dining hall, and to every corner of our beautiful campus.

These simple everyday choices add up to powerful impact.
By reducing vehicle usage inside the campus, we significantly lower fuel consumption and contribute to a meaningful reduction in our carbon footprint.
Every step we take becomes a step towards cleaner air, a greener campus, and a healthier planet.

At Aravind, we believe sustainability grows from conscious habits.
And we are proud that our community lives this commitment—one step, one choice, one day at a time. 💚🌍👣

Today we rewind to the Glaucoma Retreat 2017, a memorable initiative organised by Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry.
This retreat brought together leaders, consultants, managers, MLOPs and coordinators from all Aravind centres to review and strengthen patient care, research, and fellowship training in glaucoma.

We were honoured to host Dr. David Friedman, Director of Glaucoma Services at Massachusetts General Hospital (Mass Eye and Ear Campus). Renowned globally for his contributions to angle-closure glaucoma, ophthalmic epidemiology and improving medication adherence, Dr. Friedman visited various Aravind centres and closely observed our glaucoma services.

The retreat also included recreational sessions held at the Aurobindo Ashram Office and Pegasus Campus on December 15–16, 2017.
With 33 participants from across the Aravind system, the event concluded with the development of action plans and designation of responsibilities for future improvement.

Thrilled to share our latest article in Indian Journal of Ophthalmology – November 2025 (IF: 1.8)

Title:
Management of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) & Diabetic Retinopathy (DR):
Practice Patterns Amongst Vitreoretinal Surgeons of India – A VRSI Survey

What’s this about?
A nationwide survey of 289 vitreoretinal surgeons revealing how India manages PCV & DR in real-world practice — from imaging preferences to anti-VEGF choices, biosimilars, steroids & PRP trends.

📌 Key Highlights:
• Multimodal imaging preferred for PCV diagnosis
• Aflibercept favored for initiating PCV therapy
• Switch to brolucizumab common after suboptimal response
• PRP remains the backbone for PDR
• Ranibizumab biosimilars widely used for DME
• Steroids preferred in anti-VEGF non-responders

Why it matters:
Understanding national practice patterns helps align real-world decisions with evidence-based care and shapes future guidelines for PCV & DR management in India.

Spotted at the Cornea Clinic: The Upcycling Box!
At Aravind Eye Hospital, many corneal ulcer patients carry a small but mighty companion — the upcycling box.

👁️‍🗨️ What makes it special?
Managing multiple eye drops, ointments, and tablets can be overwhelming. Medications often get misplaced or risk contamination when stored improperly.

💡 That’s where the Upcycling Box steps in — a hygienic, portable organizer that keeps all essential medicines in one safe spot.

📝 With a built-in checklist, it helps patients stay on track with their treatment — no missed doses, no confusion.

At Aravind, we go beyond prescriptions.
We simplify care. We prioritize safety. We empower patients.

🌧️ Every Drop Counts! 💧
At Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, we believe that caring for people also means caring for the planet. Our rainwater harvesting initiative is a step toward sustainability, responsibility, and a greener tomorrow. 🌿✨

Rainwater harvesting is more than just collecting rain — it’s a commitment to conserving water, protecting our environment, and reducing the dependence on groundwater sources. By capturing rainfall from rooftops and directing it into soak pits, we ensure that not a single drop goes to waste.

To strengthen this mission, our hospital has installed rainwater harvesting soak pits that help recharge groundwater levels naturally and efficiently. This system not only supports our daily water needs but also helps prevent soil erosion and reduces water flooding — creating long-term benefits for the community.

💧 Our Impact:
Across a vast 22,000 sq. metre campus, Aravind Eye Hospital proudly harvests an incredible 3.5 crore litres of rainwater every year. Each drop collected is a step toward sustainable healthcare and a healthier planet.

At Aravind, we are committed to building a future where water is conserved, respected, and responsibly used. Together, let’s protect nature’s most precious resource and create a brighter, greener tomorrow. 🌍✨

🌟 Research Highlight from Aravind Eye Hospital 🌟
Assessment of Subjective Visual Experiences during Intraocular Surgery and Intravitreal Injection among Uveitis Patients .
🧿 A Cross-Sectional Observational Study (June 2022 – July 2023)
Our team conducted a unique study exploring what uveitis patients actually see and feel during intraocular surgeries and intravitreal injections — an important but often overlooked aspect of patient care.
🔍 Key Insights
All patients could perceive light during surgery.
Many reported colors, flashes, and floaters during the procedure.
Colors: Seen by 76% (anterior segment surgery), 62% (posterior), 41% (injections)
Floaters: 63%, 23%, 65%
Flashes: 43%, 62%, 24%
26 % patients experienced frightening visual sensations, more commonly in males and in those with better pre-operative vision.
Blood pressure and pulse showed significant fluctuations, emphasizing the need for close monitoring.
💡 What This Means
Uveitis patients consistently experience intraoperative visual sensations regardless of disease activity or procedure type.
👉 Structured preoperative counselling, personalised anaesthetic planning, and continuous systemic monitoring can greatly improve comfort and safety.
