About Our Hospital

Centre for Eye and Health Care (CEHC) began as a clinic on 1st July 2012 and with the growing demand for quality and affordable eye care in the region was expanded to a hospital with state of the art operation theatre and facilities for laser treatment and other investigation modalities. This was started in April 2015 at Ramaniyam Isha, # 11, Old Mahabalipuram Road, Thoraipakkam. Chennai – 600097.

CEHC was founded by Dr. Ashok Rangarajan who is an ophthalmic surgeon passionate about quality care, complete patient satisfaction, ethical and evidence based practice of ophthalmology. Dr. Ashok Rangarajan has more than 25 years of experience in ophthalmology. He has worked as a Senior Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon in one of the premier eye institutes of the country, Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai for over a decade and in corporate hospitals in Dubai and charitable organisations in Nigeria.



Compassion, personalised care, ethical and evidence based practice of medicine with appropriate use of technology are the key strengths and beliefs of the team at CEHC.

  • Eyes are an integral part of systemic health, they are affected in numerous conditions either as a part of the pathological process or due to the treatment given for the same. Often the signs of a systemic problem appear first in the eyes.The general/family physicians in the medical team form an integral part of this total care that is required.The family physician's importance and role as a holistic care giver is re-emerging in an environment of super specialisation in medicine.Our family physicians also conduct home visits for giving care to those who cannot easily travel to the clinic.
