Infinite Vision - Available at IndiePix.netINFINITE VISION is the story of Dr. V(enkataswamy), the legendary eye surgeon from South India who made it his mission to restore sight to the blind and whose work has resulted in one of the world's most extraordinary models of service delivery.
In a little over 25 years, Dr. V and his team have turned what started out as an 11-bed eye clinic in an old temple-city into the largest and most productive eye care facility in the world. Taking its compassionate services to the doorstep of rural India, Aravind's stunningly effective strategies have created a self-sustaining system that now treats over 1.4 million patients each year, two-thirds of them, for free.
Through interviews with patients, doctors, students, admirers, and 85-year old Dr. V himself, the film follows the inspiring life of this unlikely hero, from his childhood in a farmer's family through his years as a young surgeon struggling with a crippling illness onto his pioneering efforts to eliminate needless blindness.
