Medical Research Foundation is a charitable society that gives affordable, expert, state-of-the-art care to ophthalmically challenged patients of any caste, creed or income. It also emphasizes ophthalmic research, teaching and training.

The Wadhwani Foundation’s grant will fund a Community Opthalmic Eye Care project that works towards preventing blindness in India, providing quality eye care to the deserving poor in rural areas. With this funding, Shankara Nethralaya, the patient wing of Medical Research Foundation, will conduct 200 free cataract surgeries with intra-locular lens implantation on poor patients during the year 2003-04.
