Research & Development :
Took the first private initiative in North India to establish own research group in ophthalmology to promote and assist research in ophthalmology. Established the “Ophthalmic Research Group” for promotion of research activities. The group has its own Steering Committee with some of the most respected names in India being on its panel, & its own Ethics Committee.

Teaching & Academic Promotion :
Have started training program in Optometry, enabling young people to be self dependent & helping them find suitable employment in the private sector itself. Our optometrists are in high demand in the Ophthalmic community, due to their high level of skills. We are also developing multimedia based teaching programs for the students – the like of which does not exist in North India to the best of our knowledge.
