They are also providing high-quality hydrophobic IOLs for pediatric cataract surgeries in all the states that they are serving.

They also recently launched an Eye mobile van to serve the street vendors who suffer with eye-related issues. “The mobile van visits every corner of the city and screen the street vendors for eye problems. Post eye checkup, the street vendors would post the pic on their shops which would create mass eye health awareness. The project is now introduced in east Bengaluru, and it will be soon scaled across the city,” said the eye care institute in an announcement. A total of 3.5 lakh street vendors benefited due to the mobile van.

Noyonika has received accolades from people across the country and even from governments. Former chairman of Tata sons, Ratan Tata too sent his best wishes to the eye institute after learning of its contributions towards the eye health of children in rural areas.
