Dr. Venkataswamy [1918-2006] after retiring from service at age 58, started Arvind eye care system.
What is amazing about his story was his sheer dedication to his desire to provide quality eye care to poor and needy. Even though he was handicapped (fingers crippled) he performed over hundred thousand extremely delicate successful eye surgeries.
In 23 years his eye care system with hospitals are world class and a leading authority in eye care research with systems to deliver quality service.
Many a times we feel that we do not have time to do something we desire and are afraid to start on a new path. Dr. Venkataswamy essentially showed that it can be done at any time of our life.
