Jehan Eye Clinic is a Centre for skilled clinical excellence in eye care. We aim to reach out to all sections of society, providing the best in eye care without any compromise in quality, and to always be at par with recent advances in technology. Our primary focus is to provide a personalized experience to each patient, right from the understanding of their own eye problems to the treatment. We are honored to complete 10 years of private practice this year 2023.

We strongly emphasize the need to donate your eyes after death and not bury or burn them. Give the “Gift of sight” to two individuals and help them see this beautiful world.

Dr. Kareeshma Wadia's elder brother Jehan Wadia was devoted and caring. However, he left for his heavenly abode on the 1st of December 2002, at the young age of 20 years.

Dr. Kareeshma was pursuing her medical education at the time, so she was deeply affected by the loss of her brother.

But in life, he only spread happiness even after he was no more. Because of his family's decision to donate his eyes, his pristine healthy corneas were given to two individuals, who probably are leading a better life and blessing him for the same.

Dr. Kareeshma was inspired by this to try to help everyone who was having vision problems, particularly the many individuals in our nation who had treatable corneal blindness.
