India Vision Institute (IVI) is a not-for-profit registered trust with a vision to promote excellence in vision care delivery in India. It is a joint initiative of the LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad and Brien Holden Vision Institute, Sydney.

IVI initiatives focus on supporting research, education and technological developments to advance Indian capacity in vision correction and prevention of eye disease and blindness. They also aim to obtain resources in order to promote research, entrepreneurship, technological achievements and commercialization to attain a premier level of basic and advanced eye care services and products in India.

Preventing ‘preventable’ blindness through timely intervention remains a key priority for IVI. Many people from underprivileged communities across South India including children, have benefited and continue to benefit from the IVI Vision Screening Program sustained through two successful IVI campaigns. The IVI Eye See & I Learn and Eye See & I Work initiatives raise resources to provide free spectacles that enable children to perform better in school, and adults to work to their full potential becoming active contributors to India’s growth.
