We started out with a five member team that performed the key manufacturing steps of Ophthalmic knives for a US based company. This gave us direct access to the new developments taking place the ophthalmic industry and in the surgical techniques. Back in those days the western world was the hub for design and development of new ophthalmic surgical knives. Not having the quick communication channels of today meant a massive delay in India getting access to latest ophthalmic surgical knives and surgery techniques. There were no indigenous manufacturers of Ophthalmic knives in India at that time.
