🌿 Foresight Friday
At Aravind Eye Hospital – Pondicherry, sustainability isn’t only about green spaces — it’s about thoughtful systems and the art of adaptation.
Look at the compartmentalized chappal stand outside the operation theatre. It wasn't always a shoe rack—these were once old medical record shelves, repurposed to serve a new mission. * Numbered sections.
Smooth flow.
Easy identification.
Elderly patients don’t struggle. There’s no confusion. No clutter. Just quiet efficiency.
With security ensuring seamless movement, even this small practice reflects a larger belief: when systems are simple and resources are reused with intent, dignity and sustainability follow.
Because at Aravind, foresight lives in the smallest details. 🌱

Throwback Thursday
✨ A Legacy of Sight: Celebrating Our Journey ✨
🌱February 21, 2003, marks the pivotal moment when Aravind Pondicherry first opened its doors to the community🏥. For 23 years, this date has served as our Hospital Day—a dedicated time for our entire organization to pause and reflect on our founding vision and the remarkable evolution we've experienced since day one 📈.
Hospital Day is more than an anniversary; it is a bridge between our history and our future🌉. It allows us to:
* Revisit our origins: Honor the founders and the initial spark that started it all🕯️.
* Celebrate our growth: Acknowledge the significant milestones achieved over two decades 🏆.
* Reconnect with our mission: Align ourselves with the ongoing journey of the Institute👣.
📸 We look back fondly on our very first Hospital Day celebration in 2004. 🎊 Those early moments are captured in timeless photographs, reminding us of the evening when members of the SEVA Foundation visited and led the cultural festivities, setting the stage for the vibrant community we are today🎯.
Ultimately, our Hospital Day is about remembrance and anticipation🕊️. We honor our past achievements while looking forward with excitement to the impact we have yet to make 🌟.

Video-Indirect Fluorescein Angiofusion (VIFA)
An Emerging Imaging Technique for Retinal Vasculature
🔍 What is VIFA?
Video-Indirect Fluorescein Angiofusion (VIFA) is a novel imaging technique that uses a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope equipped with filters and a camera to perform dynamic fluorescein angiography.

Widefield scan capturing retina up to the ora serrata
Non-contact procedure
Live, real-time assessment of retinal vasculature
Affordable & portable device
Ideal for pediatric and complex pathologies
Simultaneous visualization and video recording
👁️ Key Applications of VIFA
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Coats disease
⚖️ Comparison with Standard FFA
Higher coverage of peripheral retina
Enhanced safety (no contact lens, gentle for infants)
Real-time dynamic imaging of blood flow and leakage
Valuable teaching and documentation tool
📌 Conclusion
VIFA is an emerging, cost-effective, and minimally invasive technique providing comprehensive real-time imaging of retinal vasculature.
