WELCOME TO L V PRASAD EYE INSTITUTE

L V Prasad Eye Institute is a world-class eye hospital, research, and training centre located in Hyderabad, India. Its mission is to provide excellent and equitable eye care to all in a caring and compassionate manner.

Profile

L V Prasad Eye Institute is a comprehensive eye health facility located in Hyderabad, India. Founded in October 1986 by eminent ophthalmologist Dr Gullapalli N Rao, the Institute has evolved into a world class organization, with six main areas of focus: comprehensive patient care, clinical research, sight enhancement and rehabilitation, community eye health, education, and product development.

From the beginning our focus has been on extending equitable and efficient eye care to the underprivileged. The Institute's charter aims at providing 50 percent of its surgical services free of cost to the economically disadvantaged. In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), we have designed and implemented many innovative community eye health programs. Each day, 200

people who cannot afford eye care, receive care from some of the best eye health professionals, while hundreds more benefit from LVPEI's rural affiliates and satellite clinics in urban slums. The cornerstone of progress in medical science is research and LVPEI collaborates with premier institutions globally in this area. Our research program takes pride in putting cutting edge technology, like stem cell transplantation, to clinical application. We have also developed innovative applications of lasers to treat corneal and retinal diseases, while evolving unconventional approaches to glaucoma treatment and conducting frontline research into the molecular genetic basis of eye diseases.
