Our faculty include BITS Pilani and University of Houston alumni, award-winning educators and practising clinicians, not just lecturers. Every student gets a faculty mentor and direct access to specialists.
Optometry is one of India's fastest-growing health professions, and Vasan graduates walk into it with hospital experience already on their CV. Leading companies like Bausch + Lomb, Titan and Lenskart conduct placement drives on campus every year.

It was the right decision of my life to choose optometry here! I am very grateful to all the lecturers who have been our mentors not only through the course but for life. The most unique part of VIOR is the practical guidance, which a thousand books can't replace.
Whenever I knocked the door with any kind of idea, there were a set of hands always ready to guide me. Postings in the hospital, even in specialities from the first year, gave me the confidence in handling patients.
I am very grateful for the opportunity Vasan Institute of Ophthalmology and Research has given me to discover my knowledge, hidden skills and gain experience. My dream has come true of being an optometrist.
