Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, known for comprehensive and advanced eyecare since the last 60 years, on 24th June moved to a new and bigger location in the city.

The state-of-the-art facility, among the biggest spreading over 30,000 sqft, was inaugurated by DMK President M K Stalin in the presence of Hospital Chairman Prof Amar Agarwal. ''The expanded facility will offer comprehensive eyecare services and is equipped with latest equipment to conduct advanced and complex eye surgeries'', Prof Amar Agarwal told reporters.

More than 500 people pledged to donate their eyes to mark the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Stalin said “over the decades, Tamil Nadu has carved a name for itself in the field of medical tourism, particularly in the field of ophthalmology.'' Recalling late Chief Minister M Karunnaidhi's close association with the Hospital chain, its founder Dr Jaiveer Agarwal, and his
son Dr Amar Agarwal, he said ''Dr Kalaignar had inaugurated the earlier premises of the hospital and he usually used to get his
regular eye check-ups done at the facility.''
