India Vision Institute

India Vision Institute India Vision Institute (IVI) is a not-for-profit nongovernmental organization (NGO) with the vision to Augment Primary Eye Care Capacity of India.

This we do by providing
access to primary eye care for underprivileged and rural Indians and through advancing the optometry sector, awareness generation, capacity building, advocacy, and leadership development. Our Eye See & I Work and Eye See & I Learn campaigns reach constituencies where services are lacking and most required – notably adults and children. IVI has undertaken over 2000 vision sc

reening programs in states across India. Over 700,000 individuals from the underprivileged communities (including 400,000 children) have been screened and free spectacles distributed to over 200,000 individuals. Optometrists are in the frontline of vision care services delivery. IVI works to upgrade their skills and build capacity as well as equip them to cope with challenges in their careers. We organise online advocacy, talks, panel discussions, education, skill enhancement, and leadership development programs. Our collaboration with over 45 institutes for programs has covered 20 states and three union territories. Our Strategy
IVI’s Strategic Programs and focus over the next five years will be to:
1. Address the human resource needs of the Primary Eye Care Sector
2. Provide continuing education and support research for the upgradation of
Optometry
3. Ensure equity in access and availability of vision care services and
spectacles for every Indian
4. Advocate for good eye health practices to help prevent avoidable blindness
5. Be a Thought Leader for the eye care sector
6. Assist sustainable development of the Indian ophthalmic industry to provide
good vision care
