At ICIRC, we are more than just a research centre —we are a beacon of hope for millions vulnerable to irreversible vision loss.
Established in 1991, the Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Centre (ICIRC) has evolved into one of India’s leading institutions dedicated to pioneering eye research.
Establishment
Since becoming a fully operational research facility in 2000, ICIRC has earned recognition from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.
Recognition
Notably, we are the only DSIR-recognized eye research laboratory in western India, a distinction that underscores our commitment to impactful, innovation-driven science.
Uniqueness
Our mission is to turn cutting-edge research into real-world solutions through translational science, early diagnostics, and preventive strategies. We envision a future where blindness is no longer Inevitable but predictable, preventable, and manageable.
Mission
- Over the past two decades, ICIRC has laid a strong foundation in both basic and clinical ophthalmic research. We have made substantial investments in state-of-the-art infrastructure, including genetics and genomics, cell and tissue culture, molecular cloning, and high-resolution imaging technologies.
Translational Research
- Our passionate team of scientists has secured multiple national research grants and has mentored a new generation of doctoral and postgraduate researchers.
Accolades
