Of the 45 million blind people in the world, 12 million of them live in India.[1]Suseela Prabhakaran has been able to increase eye health of the population of Kerala, India by performing cornea graft surgeries and many other procedures that correct or improve cataracts on patients. Eye donation has been a major topic of interest for advocates of corneal grafting in recent years. Prabhakaran advocates eye donation to counteract the major cataract issue faced by many residents of Kerala, India.

Divya Prabha Eye Hospital:

The Divya Prabha Eye Hospital was founded by Prabhakaran in hopes to protect the quality of vision in the community of Kerala, India.[2]Prabhakaran was able to carry out the efforts of Dr. N. Prabhakaran -- who died a year after establishing this clinic -- and turned it into a full hospital with the ability to accommodate for cataract and glaucoma surgeries. This The most common cause of blindness of the people of Kerala, and other parts of India, is cataracts in terms of ophthalmological issues.[1]Other ophthalmological problems in India include glaucoma, corneal blindness, posterior segment disorder, and many others.[1]Prabhakaran's desire for this facility was to provide the best care for patients at an affordable price.[3]

After establishment as a clinic, the resources necessary for surgery were not available quite yet, which explains why patients advised for surgery were directed to a hospital in close proximity. When this hospital underwent the project of expansion to accommodate surgical procedures, a theatre complex was added, consisting of separate areas designed for septic procedures and a sterile air corridor.[3]The doctors of this hospital work to update technology for treatment of vision ailments and continue to educate themselves at conferences throughout the year. Although this facility is now a hospital, Prabhakaran has not stopped treating people who may not have the resources to afford such surgeries.
