Training Centre for Paramedics

Studies suggest that with every ophthalmologist there should be at least 5 paramedics (optometrists or ophthalmic assistants). With about 500 ophthalmologists in Rajasthan, there are less than 100 trained optometrists or assistants. This shows that there is immense need for training of these candidates so that they can assist the eye doctor and help in treating and preventing curable blindness.
