I was deeply honoured to be appointed as an Organising Committee Board Member of the Middle East Ophthalmic Society, reflecting commitment to advancing ophthalmic science and fostering professional collaboration. I was also privileged to receive the Participation Award from the Karnataka Ophthalmic Society and the Service to MEOM Academy Award from the MEOM Academy in recognition of dedication, active involvement, and significant contributions to ophthalmic education and service.
Though we were still in the middle of the pandemic, Nadoja Dr. Kudlu along with his team conducted eye camps in the Prime Minister’s birth state of Gujarat. He was blessed to have screened 2000+ Patients in a single day and performed 150+ surgeries in a span of two days.
One of the greatest years in his life, when he opened a one-stop eye care hospital in his hometown. Prasad Netralaya was no longer a small clinic, it had now become a super specialty eye hospital — with separate departments for each part of the eye.
