Clinical Research

In keeping with our vision and mission, in December 2010 Clinical Research Units(CRU) have been commissioned at our centres in Salem, Bangalore, Chennai, Cochin and Mangalore, Mysore and Hyderabad. The units will serve to collect, maintain and analyse the large volume of data generated, with the aim of designing prospective clinical research of importance to the society. Our units offer investigators the support they need to conduct clinical research - specially trained nurses, technical and support staff, and procedural and laboratory services. CRU staff are trained to carry out research protocols with an emphasis on patient safety and research quality.


Vasan Eye Care has over 40 ophthalmologists in seven centres across South India who have expressed their willingness to participate and recruit patients for clinical research.
