LVPEI's mission is to provide equitable and quality eye care to all sections of society.
Established in 1987, L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI), a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Prevention of Blindness, is a comprehensive eye health facility. The Institute has ten active arms to its areas of operations: Clinical Services, Education, Research, Vision Rehabilitation, Rural and Community Eye Health, Eye Banking, Advocacy and Policy Planning, Capacity Building, Innovation and Product Development. LVPEI is managed by two not-for-profit entities - Hyderabad Eye Institute (HEI) and Hyderabad Eye Research Foundation (HERF).
The Story behind the name - L V Prasad Eye Institute
The beginning, before the brick and mortar of the Institute, the renowned Indian film-maker Sri Akkineni Lakshmi Vara Prasad Rao, popularly known as L V Prasad, decided to invest a part of the profits of his blockbuster film "Ek Duje Ke Liye" for a worthy cause. He donated rupees one crore and five acres of land for establishing the state-of-the-art Eye Institute. In recognition of this gesture, the Board of the Institute decided to name the Institute after him.
Over the years, his family has continued to support the Institute's work. His son, Mr Ramesh Prasad, Managing Director of Prasad Film Laboratories, is a founder trustee of LVPEI and is the longest serving member of the Hyderabad Eye Institute's governing board, along with Dr Rao.
The mission of L V Prasad Eye Institute is to be a centre of excellence in Eye care services, basic and clinical research into eye diseases and vision-threatening conditions, training, product development, and rehabilitation for those with incurable visual disability, with a focus on extending equitable and efficient Eye care to underserved populations in the developing world.
To create excellent and equitable Eye care systems that reach all those in need.
The Institutes of Excellence program was conceived on the 25th anniversary of LVPEI. Envisaged as global resource centres, they will not only focus on caring for patients at all levels of eye care but also creating and disseminating new knowledge. The first institute of excellence was the Cornea Institute, followed by the Institute for Eye Care for the Elderly, the Child Sight Institute, Operation Eyesight Universal Institute for Eye Cancer and most recently, the Anant Bajaj Retina Institute. Several individual Institutes of Excellence are also evolving.
Centres of Excellence: Within each Institute of Excellence are smaller Centres of Excellence based out of a particular campus. These centres are dedicated to tackling eye problems in a limited geographical area or focused on specific eye conditions.

Many believe that online business directories and listing websites are a digital version of Yellow pages, but that’s not true. They are comprehensive channels that allow prospective customers, business owners, and professionals to identify and contact businesses relevant to them.
