Thank you to the J.J. Keller Foundation!

Rural Vision Centers are at the heart of Aravind’s strategy to provide universal care to 10 million people by 2020. Today, there are 51 centers throughout Tamil Nadu, staffed by skilled technicians who provide eye exams, fit patients with glasses, and treat minor conditions. Every patient sees an Aravind doctor via high-speed Internet and is transported to an Aravind Hospital for surgery, if needed.

We are pleased to announce that the J.J. Keller Foundation has provided funding for two vision centers in the villages of Rayavaram, in the Pudhukottai district, and Kalugumalai in Tuticorin districtof Tamil Nadu, India.
