Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital from India has opened a new eye care center in Mauritius.

The center will use special techniques developed in India to help people with eye problems.
These techniques include PDEK, which replaces damaged eye cells, CAIRS, which treats a condition called keratoconus, and pinhole pupilloplasty, which helps with light scattering in the eye.
The center aims to serve not just Mauritius but also nearby African countries, making advanced eye care more accessible in the region.

The center will offer advanced techniques like PDEK, CAIRS, and pinhole pupilloplasty developed in India.
The facility aims to serve as a regional hub for advanced corneal surgeries for patients in Mauritius and neighboring African countries.
Mauritius President Dharambeer Gokhool inaugurated the center, highlighting the growing healthcare collaboration between Mauritius and India.
