While it is common knowledge that cataract is by far the single most-important cause of Severe Visual Impairment, it is important to note that several researches point out to Retinal diseases as an emerging threat in Asia, and more specifically North India, which is the operational area of Sai Retina Foundation.
Retina, as a super speciality, is not available to all as it requires extremely high professional standards. There are only around 12000 ophthalmologists practicing ophthalmology in our country for a population of 1.1 billion. Of these only about 500 can undertake advanced V-R surgery.
