The Eye Foundation

The Eye Foundation is one of South India’s leading eye care chains, with a network of 25 hospitals across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Founded by Dr. Ramamurthy and headquartered in Coimbatore, the group operates state-of-the-art facilities that offer comprehensive eye care services — from cataract and retina treatments to LASIK, glaucoma, and corneal transplants. Known for its clinical excellence, patient-centric approach, and pioneering use of technology, The Eye Foundation treats millions of patients each year through its combination of high-tech tertiary centers and well-equipped secondary facilities.

Verlinvest partnered with Dr. Ramamurthy and Dr Chitra Ramamurthy in October 2025 to support the continued expansion of The Eye Foundation across India. The investment reflects Verlinvest’s ambition to back mission-driven healthcare providers that combine clinical quality with exceptional customer experience, expanding access to specialized care while building trusted consumer health brands in emerging markets.
