At about the time Shaheed Bhagat Singh was taken to the gallows was heard the wail of a newborn baby boy in Dr Agarwals householdHere arose yet another son of the soil ready to lay his life to the terms of his fathers in the practice of medicine and eye care

1934

Some amount of unrest forever dwelled in Dr Agarwals heart and he set out to the Himalayas to take up sanyas in search of a guru to show him the way to Moksha At this time he heard of the genius of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh and came running down the Himalayas to join up as one of the founder members of the Ashram Sri Aurobindo Ghosh set up in Pondicherry Along with the blessings of the Mother he set about healing the eyes of the people of the southern French colony of Pondicherry and set about the School for Perfect Eyesight By this time he was deep into the philosophies of Naturopathy and had abandoned the concept of allopathic cures

Dr J Agarwal just finished his post graduation in Ophthalmology from Aligarh married his sweetheart of his college years from Sawai Man Singh Medical College Jaipur his wife DrMrsTAgarwal and set up their practice in the southern metropolis of Madras

They wanted to be in a big city however still close to take care of their aged parents Thus started yet another saga into the realms of eye care for the nation And 29C Edward Elliots Rd Madras became an edifice for eye care

1959 amp 1960

Born to this couple nurturing national integration and secular beliefs were two children whose concept and realization was to make them eye surgeons Dr Sunita Agarwal and DrAmar Agarwal Their up bringing was directed in medical beliefs with holidays spent under the operating microscope suturing cadaver eyes animal eyes or when those were not available tomatoes and onions

1976

A dream had taken place in the mind of collegian DrJAgarwal of building an eye hospital in the shape of an eye and this came to reality on December 15th 1976 dedicating his lifes ambition to his wife Thus came to reality the worlds first and till now only eye hospital in the shape of an eye that has been listed as one of Ripleys Believe it or Not series today Thus 13 though an unlucky number proved lucky for this family of eye surgeons and 13 Cathedral Rd Madras 86 became a landmark for the Southern city of Chennai

Saw the emergence of two more eye surgeons into the foray of eye care with their spouses engaged in the same field as well and then came into the family in the next three years four sons to continue the tradition of eye care for the nation From inception to date dreams of the family have always targeted towards the offspring entering the same field of eye care Through the generations each has showed the next the love and dedication towards ophthalmology

DrAmar Agarwal completed his MS and FRCS England and joined up forces to format the early years of phacoemulsification cataract surgery Then came the endless list of lasers to be included in eye care This started the saga of making the institution a laser eye hospital so much so that today practically all surgeries and patients require laser in some format or the other

1991

The Pan Ophthalmologica conventions were started till date every year one international eye convention is held on foreign shores with the years Sri Lanka Singapore India Maldives Hungary South Africa and Thailand have seen such conventions This brings about a closer fraternity amongst the neighbouring countries and attempts to entwine eye surgeons from all over

1993

1996

The flap and zap technique of LASIK LASER established the caring dreams of the establishment not to be swayed by other less predictable techniques and taking on only what they could fathom as a reality with a purpose both the centers in Chennai and Bangalore saw the emergence of the lasik laser procedures

1998

Phakonit or cataract surgery with needles was devised structured and made under 1 mm cataract surgery a possibility adding the laser to this only emphasised the importance of lasers in cataract surgery The American Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery saw 12 hours of instruction courses where the family took part The family with international collaboration structured a landmark book on Laser Phaco and Foldable Intraocular lenses No anaesthesia techniques of using cryanalgesia was established for cataract surgery moving this from science fiction into reality
