India is one of the world's largest countries which have a very high density of blindness. Over 12 million people are blind in India which constitutes about 1% of the total Indian population and nearly 25% of the total blindness in the world. In addition to this there are nearly 70 million people who have visual impairment. While most of this could be corrected by appropriate medical/surgical intervention subject to availability of proper medical services it is found in practice that there is an acute shortage of appropriate infrastructure for delivery of medical services especially to the economically marginalized section of the population. The poor are unable to access these services due to exorbitant cost and this trend is likely to get compounded in the future and reach an alarming proportion unless some large scale initiatives are taken with commitment and dedication to correct the situation.
