Abstract

Prof Lalit Prakash Agarwal drafted the National Programme for Prevention of Visual Impairment and Control of Blindness (now called National Programme for Control of Blindness) in India in 1976, first of its kind in the world. With his vision well ahead of his time, he brought the concept of super-specialty in Indian ophthalmology. He founded Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, the apex governmental ophthalmological center of India. His contributions to modern Indian Ophthalmology were so profound that we may not be mistaken by calling him "the father of modern Indian Ophthalmology."

摘要

拉利特·普拉卡什·阿加瓦尔教授于1976年起草了印度预防视力损害和控制失明国家计划（现称为国家控制失明计划），这是世界上首个此类计划。凭借其远超时代的远见卓识，他引入了印度眼科超专科的概念。他创立了拉金德拉·普拉萨德眼科科学中心，这是印度顶尖的政府眼科中心。他对现代印度眼科的贡献极为深远，以至于称他为“现代印度眼科之父”也不为过。
