The clinic intends to use modern technology for tele-ophthalmology services apart from regular visits by paediatric ophthalmologists from LVPEI, a press release said.

“Our goal is to provide comprehensive care for children and newborns, which includes quality eye care. When children visit us for routine health checks or vaccinations, it is essential to check for eye conditions as well,” Dr Evita Fernandez, CMD, Fernandez Foundation, said.

Dr Prashant Garg, Executive Chair, LVPEI, said, “This partnership will enhance our ability to reach more children in need of eye care services and provide them with the best possible treatment.”
