VISION RESEARCH FOUNDATION

It was a deep felt realization for the need of ophthalmic research in the country that led to the conception of the Vision Research Foundation (VRF) back in 1985 to focus on the need for continuing, dedicated, India centric ophthalmic research. While clinical research was being done across the country VRF was set up to focus on basic research in ophthalmology. This started with Microbiology, Pathology, Biochemistry and Genetics but has expanded to include Molecular biology, Stem cell biology, Nanobiotechnology, Lensbiology and Bioinformatics. The foundation hasabout 20 scientists and 60 staff who work in close collaboration with ophthalmologists.
