Aravind Eye Hospitals are the expression of a vision quest, a response to the silent call of thousands who have lost their sight.
Under the leadership of Dr. G. Venkataswamy(popularly known as Dr.V), Aravind Eye Hospital was founded in Trichy in 1976 with the mission to eradicate needless blindness in Tamilnadu.
Now in its 25th year, Aravind's innovative eye care delivery system is recognised as a model for other developing countries. Much importance is given to ensure that all patients are accorded the same care and high quality service, regardless of their economic status. As a result of a unique fee system and effective management, Aravind is able to provide free eye care to two-thirds of its patients from the revenue generated from the other third of its paying patients.
