Eye Care

What do you do in a country where 200,000,000 need eye care, yet most can’t afford it? This fascinating talk from Ted entitled How Low cost eye care can be world class outlines how this is being done in India.

India’s revolutionary Aravind Eye Care System has given sight to millions. Thulasiraj Ravilla looks at the ingenious approach that drives its treatment costs down and quality up, and why its methods should trigger a re-think of all human services.

As usual it starts with a driving force, and it expands, but eyesight is something that folks in North America assume you go and get fixed (for most folks), but in India, that is not the case.

The business side is interesting too, about the economy of scale that can be put on a problem, is this model possible in North America?
