Dear friends , colleagues and budding ophthalmologists,
Indeed with great pleasure I take pride and privilege to share some simple to advanced snippets in ophthalmology.
I thank Dr. Madhuvanthi, Dr. Sashwanthi and the whole team at Rajan Eye Care without whom this wouldn’t have seen light.
We would keep this portal and it’s associated social media platforms very scientifically active.
I am sure this initiative of ours will help our community enrich their knowledge. Feel free to share your inputs on my email - drmohanrajan@gmail.com
