It was a deep felt realization for the need of ophthalmic research in the country that led to the conception of the Vision Research Foundation (VRF) back in 1985 to focus on the need for continuing, dedicated, India centric ophthalmic research. This started with Microbiology, Pathology, Biochemistry and Genetics but has expanded to include Molecular biology, Stem cell biology, Nanobiotechnology, Lensbiology and Bioinformatics. The foundation hasabout 20 scientists and 60 staff who work in close collaboration with ophthalmologists. VRFis well equipped with highly qualified and dedicated research teams that make it a respected ophthalmic research centre with learning and training centres. The foundation is recognized as a Scientific Institution by the Department of Scientific & Industrial Research, Govt. of India.
