Last time we extended these cards for the visually impaired only. Tamilnadu Maatru Thiranaligal Munnetra Sangam president R Thangam received the first card.

Apart from that, the hospital has provided cards to Chennai police, kidney and cancer patients who cannot afford to spend and State Transport Corporation drivers. This vision card will help them avail services at the Rajan Eye Clinic branches in Chennai.

Actor Srikant was the chief guest. Representatives from differently abled organisations, and A Shankar, president of the Rotary Club of Madras T Nagar, were present. Around 2.5 lakh people have already been availing services using these cards.

I am fulfilling my fathers dream of providing eye care to everyone who needs it. My father did not want anyone to be deprived of treatment because he/she cannot afford to pay for it, said Dr Mohan.
