While thanking the Drug Controller for having heard the feedback from the stakeholders with respect to spectacles , it is important to also acknowledge the efforts of all who made this happen in our optical industry.
Many had tirelessly worked to make this happen – Mr.Subhash Bansal , Mr Anand Meherwal, Mr Sanjeev Madan, Mr Devesh Gupta, Mr Hem Ghag. Mr Abhinav Meherwal, Mr Niranjan Rathi, Mr S.K Khanna , Mr Anil Wadhwa, Mr Hitesh Thakker, Mr Anup Kumar , Mr Devi Prasad, Mr Dinesh Shah, Mr Paulson, Mr Sherif, Mr Snehal Turakhia, Mr Hemant Manay, Mr Sudarshan Binani and names would go endlessly .
In addition the endorsement of Vision 2020 to the industry cause for seeking the exemption of spectacles from Medical Devices needs special mention keeping in mind the interest of achieving Universal Eye Health as envisaged by WHO. The industry representation also made by India Vision Institute for this cause is a testimony of what togetherness means for larger interests besides representation from all state Optical associations including some of the Optometry association.
