Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital has opened an eye hopsital at Kankanady, Mahaveer Circle in Mangaluru. Spread across 15,000 sq ft, the new facility is equipped with next-generation diagnostic and surgical technology, bringing a wide range of super-specialty ophthalmic services under one roof. The hospital aims to reduce the need for patients to travel to larger cities such as Bengaluru or Chennai for treatment.

The inauguration was graced by Dr HR Thimmaiah, DHO, Dakshina Kannada; Dr Jessy Maria Goveas D’Souza, IMA President, Mangaluru; and Lt. Colonel Dr Zahid Ali Khan, Senior Manager – Health Services & CMO, MRPL.

Dr Srinivasa Rao, Regional Head Clinical Services, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, added, “This facility is not only about treating eye diseases, but also about early detection, prevention, and spreading awareness. With lifestyle-related eye issues and myopia on the rise, our hospital will play a vital role in protecting the eye health of both adults and children in this region, supported by a team of three dedicated specialist doctors.”

Rahul Agarwal, COO, Dr Agarwals Group of Eye Hospitals, said, “Mangaluru has a strong medical ecosystem with several reputed institutions, but there is still a gap in advanced ophthalmic services. Our vision is to fill this gap by introducing state-of-the-art eye care that is both accessible and affordable. With the latest diagnostic tools and surgical expertise, we aim to serve people across all sections of society and provide them with the best possible vision.”
