About the clinic

20 Years of Trusted Eye Care Excellence.

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.
