Revolutionary Concept of Developing Eye Donation Infrastructure - “Integrated Hub”

One revolutionary idea envisioned by Run For Vision Foundation under the guidance of Mr. Ashok Mahindru is Integrated Hub in a big city/town. We used our decades worth of experience both as an business visionary and philanthropist to develop this most cost effective model. Under this model:

 

One central eye care unit attached to a Full Fledged Eye Hospital   

 

     

     Associated Remote Centers (9-10) for Primary Eye Treatment and Donation

     

Linked through equipped Mobile Vans with Trained Medical Staff

 

 

   

Functions of each unit in Integrated Hub:

    1. Remote primary eye treatment and eye donation unit to carry out:

• 10-20 primary OPDs per day
•  30-40 weekly full OPDs with the help of mobile unit
• 1500 refractive error corrections & extensive OPDs
• Retrieve and preserve corneas when donated (up to 50 in a year)
• Refer extensive care and surgery patients to central unit

    2. Central eye bank and extensive care unit attached to a complete eye hospital to carry out:

•         Functions of the primary eye care and eye donation unit (as above)
•        Preserve and process donated corneas
•    Manage two fully equipped mobile units to integrate with remote units

3.    Complete eye hospital attached to the  central  eye bank to carry out:

• 300 cornea transplants in a year
•  3000 cataract surgeries in a year
• 1000 glaucoma, oculoplastic and other surgeries in a year
• 4500 refractive error corrections & OPDs in a year
