Darshan Eye Care was founded in October 2006 by Dr. Srinivas K Rao and Dr. Navin Jayakumar, who had each completed 15 years as senior consultants at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai. The practice was built to offer state-of-the-art care in a cost-effective, patient-centered way.
Since then, the team has grown to include specialists in glaucoma, ocular inflammation, squint, oculoplasty, and vitreo-retinal disease — fulfilling what the founders call "total vision care." The centre is NABH accredited and equipped with lift and wheelchair access throughout.
Every doctor at Darshan brings a distinct sub-specialty, so your care always meets a true expert.

History, refraction, eye pressure, and pupil dilation — about 15 minutes.
Your ophthalmologist completes the retinal exam and discusses findings.
Ongoing check-ins to track your recovery and vision.
Patients often mention how personal the care feels here — the team takes real time with each person rather than rushing through appointments.
After cataract and glaucoma surgery, one patient's father had his sight fully restored — the family described feeling genuinely well guided throughout.
A patient who had lost hope after a corneal transplant years earlier returned when a family member faced the same condition — and left with clear vision again.
Patients consistently point to the personal attention from Dr. Rao and the team, and the confidence that comes from a well-equipped, one-stop clinic — even for the most difficult corneal cases.
