She has seen firsthand the severe lack of paediatric eye care resources in both urban and rural locations. Her greatest hope is to collaborate with other eye centres in West Bengal and the eastern area of Kolkata to establish a referral system that will ensure that no child will go blind from treatable causes of blindness.
