    2. Glaucoma Lecture: on 10th March 2013, In the Santokba Hall, we had organized glaucoma awareness lectures by glaucoma specialist and glaucoma patients also talked about the problem they faced in day to day life. The chief guests of this function were our previous MLA Shri Ashok Jadhav and Shri Haritbhai Chitalia.
    3. Glaucoma Interview on Radio: we were invited on 94.3 FM for glaucoma awareness.

CAREER OBJECTIVES:

I have nurtured a keen interest in the clinical epidemiology, diagnosis and management of glaucoma and its antecedent problems throughout my training in Ophthalmology. I would like to focus my efforts in research with regard to optic disc examination using various newer Imaging modalities. As there is very little known about management of angle closure of glaucoma and there is no randomised trial involving treatment modalities in angle closure glaucoma, I am very keen on getting involved in initiating such trial in India. I would also like to be associated in research for development of newer drug molecules for glaucoma.
