Dear Friends,

It is with immense happiness and pleasure, we pen this little note on the occasion of the completion of Seventeen Years of Vision Service to the poor and needy people of our community.

Our Hospital was ceremonially declared open on 13th December 2005 and from this day onwards we have come a long way in developing our Hospital into a COMPREHENSIVE EYE CARE UNIT and extending our FREE TO PATIENTS cataract surgeries to the poor and the needy people through our Outreach Eye Mobile Camps in distant villages

Our Hospital is fully equipped: having the required qualified medical personnel, and the infrastructure needed for an eye institution and most importantly a family of humble and courteous staff.

As we celebrate our 17th year of service, we thank the Chairman and Trustees, the visiting surgeons, medical officers, para medical technicians and our valuable asset-our staff.

A special thank you to the Lions Clubs for their cooperation and support, our valued Donors, and all those nice people who helped us in numerous ways and continue to help us for another year of service.

With sincere season's greetings and best wishes

We remain,
The Management Team
Lion Lakshman De Silva, (General Manager), Monty Sally (Operations Manager) & Mrs. Dilinika Weerasinghe (Accountant)
