Who We Are
Smart Vision Hospital
Smart Vision Hospital is a pioneering healthcare initiative from the Hindustan Group of Institutions, founded by the esteemed Dr. Susan Verghese, who serves as the Medical Director. Dr. Verghese, also holding the position of Director at Hindustan College of Arts & Sciences, is the daughter of Dr. KCG Verghese, the visionary founder of the Hindustan Group of Institutions. With a distinguished reputation as one of the leading ophthalmologists in Chennai, Dr. Susan Verghese identified the pressing need for a comprehensive healthcare center that caters to both eye care and diabetes management.
The prevalence of diabetes is a significant concern in India, with a staggering 69.2 million people living with the condition, accounting for 8.7% of the population, according to 2015 data. Diabetes is recognized as one of the main causes of degeneration in vision, underscoring the urgency to address this growing health issue. Smart Vision & Diabetes Clinic was established with the primary objective of increasing awareness about the rise in diabetes and its profound consequences, particularly on vision health.
At Smart Vision Hospital, our mission is clear: to enhance lives by providing smarter, faster, and more efficient healthcare services that deliver excellent and appropriate care at the right place and time. We are committed to prioritizing the well-being of our patients and ensuring that they receive the highest quality of care to address their health needs effectively.
AGE AND YOUR VISION: As individuals age, their vision undergoes changes, necessitating proactive steps to mitigate age-related vision problems. Simple yet effective measures can be taken to lower the risk of such issues:
- Wear protective sunglasses that block harmful ultraviolet rays or polarized sunglasses.
- Maintain a healthy diet comprising green leafy vegetables rich in antioxidants, eggs rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, fish and flaxseed rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, both of which can negatively impact vision health.
- Engage in daily exercise to promote overall health and well-being.
- Schedule regular eye check-ups to monitor vision health and address any issues promptly.
