Bosch, a leading supplier of technology and services, has announced the launch of a locally-developed eye-care solution in India.
The company's new eye screening and detection system offers a combination of hardware and software and provides affordable eye care.
The compact hand-held fund us camera is designed to respond to the shortage of eye-care specialists and the high demand for vision screening in the country. According to global health statistics, nearly one of every three visually impaired people in the world is an Indian.
"Our foray into this area aims to promote better ophthalmological care for all Indians," said Steffen Berns, the president of the Bosch Group in India, at the product's launch.
"We believe that Bosch's eye screening and detection system will bring global standards of eye care to India. It has been conceptualized and developed in India with state-of-the-art technology from across the world," Berns added.
