• Aravind Eye Hospitals in Southern India

Dr. Robin has been instrumental in developing and establishing the glaucoma service at the Aravind Eye Hospital in Southern India. Aravind is the busiest eye hospital in the world. His work there has been instrumental in developing self sustaining eye care, a increased awareness of glaucoma, and fostering research and clinical ties that have bettered patients in both India and the developing world. His work has been critical to the development of mitomycin C for glaucoma surgery, new forms of visual fields to better diagnose glaucoma, as well as a better understanding of both the prevalence of glaucoma as well as other eye diseases.
