Summary:
A+ A-Hyderabad: L V Prasad Eye Institute in partnership with Standard Chartered today launched two new programmes to improve eye care delivery – the “Standard Chartered-LVPEI Programme for Eye Care Education” and “Technology-Enabled Primary Eye Care Services”. With the evolution of technology and the changing eye care situation, there is a growing need to scale-up primary eye care services by leveraging technology. This need has led to the evolution of technology-enabled “Primary Eyecare Vision Centre” or the ‘’Futuristic Vision Centre’’ model. The Vision Centre concept is an innovative eye care service delivery model developed by L V Prasad Eye Institute nearly 25 years ago. The first of the 58 Futuristic Vision Centres is scheduled to be operational in the first week of October 2019..
