Indian eye experts Drs. Santosh G. Honavar and Mahipal S. Sachdev state at the two day eye conference by the Center for Sight (CFS) that 10,000 Indians are diagnosed with eye cancer each year. And India has 30% of the eye cancer patients in the world.
“People are more aware about lung or skin or any other cancer but eye cancer usually gets neglected. There are a significant number of people that are diagnosed with this cancer. Our aim is to educate and update the practicing ophthalmologist about new advancements in the field,” said Dr Mahipal Sachdev.
Part of the reason of the problem, they say, is due to the lack of ophthalmologists, ophthalmetrics and cost-effective approaches to a solution.
