The
Early Years
In the
early winter of 1976 Retina Foundation
was established at Relief Road Ahmedabad
by Dr. P. N.
Nagpal, Professor and past Head of
the Retina Unit at M & J Institute of
Ophthalmology, B.J. Medical College,
Ahmedabad along with
Late
Dr. J.H. Patel,
Honorary Professor of Ophthalmology and
Consulting Eye Surgeon.
In the last months of 1979 Retina
Foundation was shifted to its present
premises in Shahibaug, Ahmedabad and Aso
Palav Eye Hospital was also established
to offer efficient and cost effective
comprehensive eye care facilities.
Over the past 33 years, the services
provided at the Foundation have evolved
to keep pace with the rapid developments
in ophthalmology in general and in the
specialty of Retina and Vitreous in
particular.
