The Operation Eye Sight Universal Institute for Eye Cancer
An Institute of Excellence and Global Resource Centre for eye cancers established with the generous support of Canada-based Killam family.
Eye Cancer
The Operation Eyesight Universal (OEU) Institute for Eye Cancer was established in September 2015 to promote early detection and prompt treatment of these life-threatening conditions. This institute fills a key need for patients: the tumors are rare and the treatment is complex. This makes OEU IEC unique.
One of the key strengths of the Institute is our comprehensive approach to patient care, rehabilitation, education, research, and innovation. State-of-the-art services are provided at the centre of excellence and at all tertiary centres of the institute including Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, Visakhapatnam, and Vijayawada. True to the principles of the Institute, we continue to provide free compassionate care to over 50% patients coming from the underprivileged group.
In addition to Retinoblastoma, the ocular oncology service at LVPEI treats various tumors in the eye. These include tumors of the eyelid, the conjunctiva, the cornea, orbital and intraocular tumors.
