My father is a glaucoma patient and he had cataract also. After cataract operation now he has a better vision. But he has to maintain two – three eye drops on a daily basis. Chennai is popular for eye hospitals. Even my aunt went to Chennai for retina surgery. Thanks for sharing info about this hospital.
Wow! 200 years of service means offering the gift to vision to millions. That is a commendable feat indeed
That would have been a difficult phase Vasantha, I am glad the hospital did such a wonderful job.
