Heartiest congratulations to Dr Jayant Venkatramani Iyer, on receiving the 2019 eXcellence in Ophthalmology Vision Award (XOVA).
Dr Iyer’s project for The Vision Mission, Project Netra, had transformed a not-for-profit eye care institute in India, from a cataract centre helmed by a single surgeon to a secondary ophthalmic institute tackling most common eye diseases.
The eXcellence in Ophthalmology Vision Award (XOVA), sponsored by Novartis, provides funding in the form of a grant for initiatives that are expected to have a significant impact on unmet needs in the field of ophthalmology and optometry.
