Laxmi college of optometry

Maharashtra, Raigad

Since: August 2013
Founder: Dr Suhas Haldipurkar

The idea of a charitable trust was born out of the necessity of providing quality eye care to sections of the rural population who don’t have access to any primary eye care facility & who have to travel long distances out of their villages to consult even a primary eye care provider-leave alone an ophthalmologist.
In the backdrop of this situation, the concept of Laxmi Charitable Trust was established in the year 1999 by Dr. Suhas Haldipurkar & Mrs. Jayanti Haldipurkar to provide comprehensive, affordable and quality eye care services to the most needy – at their doorsteps, to start a world class Eye Bank, to educate Ophthalmologists in modern surgical techniques in Ophthalmology, to train and prepare paramedical workers in eye care so that they would be of assistance to eye surgeons involved in community eye services and to help the country in its march towards achieving the goal of "Vision 2020".
