Vision Centres are permanent eye care facilities in rural or semi-rural areas. They are managed by well-trained ophthalmic technicians. Teleophthalmology is effectively made use of in these centres which allows patients to consult ophthalmologists in the base hospital and avail treatment.

Tele-ophthalmology platform is used for several educational interactions including grand rounds, journal clubs. Over 500 videoconferencing sessions are being conducted in this regard every year.

Arasan works with various diabetes care centres to screen diabetic retinopathy cases through teleconsultation. Fundus image of the patient with diabetes is captured at the diabetes clinic using a fundus camera which is sent immediately to the Arasan Eye Hospital, where a retina specialist or a trained grader reviews the images and sends a report back regarding the presence or absence of DR within an hour.
