July 16, 2026

Date: February 25, 2024

Location: Suraj Eye Institute, India

We are delighted to announce the successful inauguration of the new Suraj Eye Institute, a significant milestone in the commitment of dr. Vinay to providing exceptional eye care services to the Indian community. The institute was officially opened on Sunday, February 25th, by the esteemed Minister Gadkari, who had the honor of cutting the ribbon amidst a gathering of approximately 600 distinguished guests.

The ceremony was marked by a spirit of celebration and anticipation as representatives from various organizations and institutions joined in commemorating this momentous occasion. One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of a plaque on behalf of the World Association of Eye Hospitals (WAEH) by mr. Francis Hiddema (former CEO of the Rotterdam Eye Hospital and longstanding ambassador of the WAEH), symbolizing our dedication to advancing eye care on a global scale.

The Suraj Eye Institute is focused on delivering excellence in healthcare. With its state-of-the-art facilities and a team of dedicated professionals, the institute is poised to set new standards in ophthalmic care, research, and education.

As they embark on this new chapter, the WAEH extends our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have contributed to the realization of this vision. Together, we look forward to serving the community of patients with eye dieases with compassion, integrity, and innovation.
