Abstract
In a population-based study at L.V. Prasad Eye Institute (Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study) which sampled 11,786 rural and urban subjects with complete eye examination, the prevalence of blindness was 1.84% which was close to the national blindness data, and 8.6% among these had corneal blindness due to possible infection. Government of India has supported several of these research projects through various funding agencies and the latest has been the support of council for scientific and industrial research (CSIR) for the development of a DNA macrochip for the diagnosis of eye infections, the first of its kind in the world.
