Lions Aravind Institute of Community Ophthalmology
(LAICO) became a reality in 1992. LAICO, established with the support
of the Lions Club International SightFirst Programme and Seva Sight
Programme, is Asia’s first international training facility
for blindness prevention workers from India and other parts of
the world.
Driven by a mission to contribute to the prevention and control of global
blindness, the institute trains health-related and managerial personnel
in the development and implementation of efficient and sustainable eye
care programmes. It accomplishes this objective through the broad environment
of Aravind Eye Hospitals and Aravind Medical Research Foundation.
