Bengaluru: Sankara Eye Hospital, Bengaluru, one of the premier eye hospitals in the country dedicated towards making India visually wealthy and eliminating needless blindness, has inaugurated Karnataka’s first Vision Rehabilitation Clinic in its premises. The Clinic is one amongst the two in the country. The Clinic was inaugurated by Dr. R. V. Ramani, the Founder and Managing Trustee of Sankara Eye Hospital and Mr. Guru Ganesan, Managing Director and CEO of ARM Embedded Technologies.
The Clinic counsels not only the individuals with vision impairment, but also their family members on how to handle, treat and transform their behavior/ perception regarding the sudden change that has left them handicapped. Vision Rehabilitation is the kind of training and therapy that develops the skills and strategies needed to help a visually impaired accomplish their goals. It does not focus on the amount of vision that is gone. It is a planned process that works with the functional vision that remains.
