Srikiran Eye Hospital, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh

For over three decades, the institute has remained firmly committed to one core principle: no individual should lose vision due to financial hardship or lack of access. Through consistent dedication, advanced medical services, and a compassionate approach, Srikiran Institute of Ophthalmology has transformed itself into a trusted name in comprehensive eye care.

A Vision Born in 1993

The journey began with a simple yet powerful mission to eliminate avoidable blindness and make eye care services accessible to every segment of society. In the early 1990s, access to advanced ophthalmic treatment was limited for many rural and economically weaker communities. Recognizing this gap, the founders of Srikiran Institute of Ophthalmology envisioned an institution that would combine medical excellence with social responsibility.

From the outset, the institute prioritized three essential values:

Accessibility

Affordability

Equity

These values continue to guide every service, outreach program, and surgical intervention performed today.

Serving Over 40 Lakh Patients

Over the years, Srikiran Institute of Ophthalmology has provided consultation, diagnosis, and treatment to more than 40 lakh individuals. This extraordinary reach reflects not only the scale of operations but also the trust that communities have placed in the institution.

Patients from urban centers, semi urban towns, and remote villages travel to the institute for reliable and ethical eye care. Many arrive with advanced conditions due to delayed treatment, yet leave with restored sight and renewed confidence.

The services provided encompass a complete spectrum of ophthalmology, including preventive care, diagnostics, medical management, and surgical treatment.

3.5 Lakh Surgeries Restoring Sight, Restoring Dignity

One of the most significant achievements of Srikiran Institute of Ophthalmology is the successful completion of more than 3.5 lakh eye surgeries. What makes this milestone even more remarkable is that 90% of these procedures were performed free of cost for economically disadvantaged patients.

These surgeries include:

Cataract surgeries

Retinal procedures

Glaucoma surgeries

Pediatric ophthalmic surgeries

Corneal procedures

Oculoplasty interventions

Each surgery represents more than a medical procedure it represents independence restored, livelihoods regained, and families relieved of the burden of blindness.

The institute ensures that every surgical intervention, whether paid or free, meets the highest standards of safety and quality.
