Vasan Eye Care Hospital , located at No. 423, Galle Road, Colombo 3, continues to strengthen its position as one of Sri Lanka’s leading dedicated eye care hospitals and the country’s first super-specialty eye care centre. With a strong focus on clinical excellence, advanced technology, and patient-centred care, the hospital provides comprehensive ophthalmic services to patients seeking high standards of specialist eye care.
Since commencing operations in 2010, Vasan Eye Care Hospital has built a strong reputation as a trusted destination for advanced ophthalmic treatment. With more than 15 years of experience in specialist eye care, the hospital has established itself as a market leader, bringing internationally comparable expertise, advanced diagnostic capabilities, and a comprehensive range of ophthalmic services together under one roof.
The hospital is equipped with advanced diagnostic and investigative technologies and supported by a highly respected panel of specialist ophthalmologists. Its modern operating theatres, specialist clinical teams, and trained support staff enable patients to access diagnosis, treatment, surgical care, and post-treatment support within a dedicated ophthalmic environment. This integrated approach is designed to provide patients with a seamless, efficient, and coordinated care experience.
Vasan Eye Care Hospital offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical treatments across multiple ophthalmic specialties. These include cataract surgery, retinal treatments, corneal procedures, glaucoma management, paediatric ophthalmology, and refractive surgery, among others. Each specialty is supported by experienced subspecialist ophthalmologists, ensuring that patients benefit from focused expertise and treatment plans tailored to their individual clinical needs.
The hospital’s commitment to comprehensive eye care also extends to vision correction through its optical division, which offers one of the country’s largest selections of eyewear. Patients can choose from hundreds of frames across a wide range of styles and price points, including internationally recognised brands such as Ray-Ban, Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co., Dolce & Gabbana, Bvlgari, and Oliver Peoples. With prescription spectacles and contact lenses available on-site, patients can access a convenient, end-to-end solution—from specialist consultation and prescription to vision correction—within a single location.
The continued expansion of specialist eye care services comes at a critical time for Sri Lanka’s public health landscape. Eye-related conditions that can lead to preventable vision loss are becoming increasingly significant. Diabetic retinopathy, one of the major causes of preventable blindness, is a growing concern as the prevalence of diabetes increases. At the same time, conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration are becoming more prevalent alongside an ageing population. In children, undiagnosed squints and refractive errors can also affect visual development and overall quality of life.
Against this backdrop, Vasan Eye Care Hospital remains committed to supporting the growing need for accessible, specialised, and technologically advanced ophthalmic care in Sri Lanka. Through its multidisciplinary expertise and integrated treatment pathways, the hospital aims to contribute meaningfully to the prevention of avoidable vision loss and the improvement of long-term eye health.
The hospital also emphasises the importance of regular eye examinations and early detection, particularly for individuals over the age of 40 and those living with diabetes. Many eye conditions can progress without noticeable symptoms during their early stages, making routine examinations an important component of maintaining long-term vision. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment can play a critical role in preventing avoidable vision loss and preserving quality of life.
Further supporting accessibility to specialist treatment, Vasan Eye Care Hospital accepts major corporate and local insurance plans, helping patients access advanced ophthalmic services while reducing unnecessary financial barriers to specialised care.
With its combination of specialist expertise, advanced technology, comprehensive services, and patient-focused care, Vasan Eye Care Hospital continues to advance its role as a dedicated centre for ophthalmology in Sri Lanka, with a commitment to delivering high-quality eye care and helping safeguard the vision and quality of life of patients across the country.

?One China? principle and ?One Country, Two Systems? policy are ironical
China?s ?One China? Principle and its policy, ?One Country, Two Systems? are ironic to each other.
