Sankara Eye Hospital is a not for profit charitable trust which aims at providing affordable eye care and eliminating curable eye blindness in India.[1] Having its headquarters in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, Sankara is among the largest community eye care providers in India with ten super specialty eye care hospitals across the country performing over 150,000 free eye surgeries annually.
The hospital follows an 80:20 business model, in which 80 per cent of the patients from rural parts of the country are treated for free, and the remaining 20 per cent are the rich and the middle income sections of the society, who pay for their treatment, thereby cross-subsidizing the free surgeries and making the Hospital self-sustaining.

In 2013, Sankara conducted its one millionth free eye surgery.[3]
