C U Shah Sankara Nethralaya, a unit of Medical Research Foundation was started in the year 1989, at our St. Thomas Mount Branch, No. 8, G.S.T. Road, Chennai 600016.

The Out-patient services were expanded in the year 2004, to provide higher standards of eye care to residents of near by areas. In our endeavor to give complete eye care facilities, we have started the operation theatre in January 2006.

It was in 1976 when addressing a group of doctors, His Holiness Sri Jayendra Saraswathi, the Sankaracharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam spoke of the need to create a hospital with a missionary spirit. His words marked the beginning of a long journey to do God's own work. On the command of His Holiness, Dr. Sengamedu Srinivasa Badrinath, along with a group of philanthropists founded a charitable not-for-profit eye hospital... One that would bring world-class eye care to the people of India; One that would adopt a single standard of care for all, rich or poor; One that would share the fruits of its knowledge and spread its concept of care to distant parts of this country. The project was named Sankara Nethralaya, which means "The Temple of the Eye". The long journey for vision with a mission began. Sankara Nethralaya today has grown into a super specialty institution for ophthalmic care and receives patients from all over the country and abroad. It has gained international excellence and is acclaimed for its quality care and compassion. The Sankara Nethralaya family today has over 1400 individuals with one vision – to propagate the Nethralaya philosophy; the place of our work is an Alaya and Work will be our worship, which we shall do with sincerity, dedication and utmost love with a missionary spirit. On an average, 1200 patients walk through our doors and 100 surgeries are performed every day. In our journey for excellence, we have received many awards and appreciation of our efforts. And we still have a long way to go…
