With this expansion, the people of Prayagraj and nearby regions now have access to advanced, world-class ophthalmic services without the need to travel to metropolitan cities. The new centre represents Centre For Sight’s continued commitment to making premium eye care accessible across India.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by the esteemed presence of Nand Gopal Gupta (Nandi Ji), Cabinet Minister, Government of Uttar Pradesh (Minister of Industrial Development, Export Promotion, NRI, and Investment Promotion), who served as the Chief Guest. Prof. (Dr.) R N Mishra, Former Director of MD Eye Hospital, Prayagraj, was the Guest of Honour for the event.

Prof. (Dr.) R N Mishra also expressed his appreciation, noting that the launch of such a well-equipped hospital, supported by a distinguished medical team, would significantly benefit the residents of Prayagraj and surrounding districts.
The newly launched hospital offers a wide range of comprehensive ophthalmic services under one roof. It is equipped with cutting-edge technology to perform:
- Advanced cataract surgery using micro-incision phacoemulsification
- Premium intraocular lens options such as Trifocal, Multifocal, Toric, and EDOF IOLs
- Specialized treatment for glaucoma, retina and vitreoretinal conditions
- Management of complex disorders like keratoconus
In addition, the centre caters to paediatric and adult patients alike, with focused services in paediatric ophthalmology and squint correction.
One of the centre’s key highlights is the introduction of advanced LASIK technology, making it the first facility in Prayagraj to house this next-generation refractive platform for vision correction.
Prof. Dr. Mahipal S. Sachdev, Chairman and Medical Director of Centre For Sight Group of Eye Hospitals, expressed his pride at the Prayagraj launch, stating:
“India accounts for nearly one-third of the world’s visually impaired population. Our goal at Centre For Sight is to ensure that every Indian, regardless of location, has access to expert-led, technology-driven eye care. With the increasing rise of conditions like myopia and cataracts, we cannot afford to overlook preventive care. This centre reflects our commitment to offering the best in diagnosis, surgery, and long-term visual outcomes. When it comes to vision, no one should compromise.”
Prof. Dr. Kamaljeet Singh, Medical Director at Centre For Sight, echoed the sentiment, adding:
“The opening of the Prayagraj facility is a step toward realizing the organisation’s vision of making quality eye care available across every region. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial in preventing irreversible blindness, especially in conditions such as glaucoma and retinal disorders. With a dedicated team of experienced doctors and world-class technology, the Prayagraj centre is set to become a trusted destination for comprehensive eye care in the region.”
Spread across 10,000 square feet, the facility features precision surgical suites, advanced diagnostic systems, and modern consultation spaces, designed to ensure a seamless and patient-friendly experience from consultation to recovery.
