Hyderabad, India: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Apex CoVantage and L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) to perform 1,000 cataract surgeries for patients from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, during 2026, at no cost to the patients. The MoU underscores the shared commitment of both the organisations to restore vision and improve access to equitable eye care for underserved communities.
Apex CoVantage is a Content and Data Transformation Partner helping global digital, data and content teams to streamline their processes, enhance accuracy and deliver value to their customers. It is headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida USA.
Established in 1987, L V Prasad Eye Institute has been at the forefront of delivering comprehensive, patient-centric, equitable eye care to all. LVPEI’s continuous and specialized training for all cadres of eye care professionals and cutting-edge research make this possible. Through its network of 278 primary, 28 secondary, and 4 tertiary eye care centres, and the quaternary eye care institute in Hyderabad, an institute of excellence, LVPEI has treated millions of patients and pioneered models that make high-quality eye health accessible to all.
Under this initiative, LVPEI will perform the 1,000 cataract eye surgeries across its centres throughout 2026, primarily for patients who lack access to quality eye care and are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, at no cost to the patient. In addition to sponsoring these surgeries, Apex CoVantage has also funded assistive devices to support persons with low vision in leading an independent life.
This collaboration reflects Apex CoVantage’s broader commitment to meaningful community impact, aligning with its long-standing legacy of initiatives in health, technology access, education, and support for underserved and rural communities.
“This collaboration represents a shared commitment to improve lives through access to quality eye care,” said Pardha Karamsetty, CEO, Apex CoVantage. “LVPEI’s legacy of excellence and community impact aligns strongly with Apex’s values and purpose. We are proud to help make life-changing vision care accessible to those who need it the most and look forward to the positive outcomes this initiative will create.”
Dr Prashant Garg, Executive Chairman – LVPEI, thanked the management and staff of Apex CoVantage for this initiative and mentioned that initiatives like these help LVPEI take eye care closer to many more of those who need it the most.
