Staff Reporter

KOCHI: Sreedhareeyam Ayruvedic Eye Hospital and Research Centre in association with the Ayush department and Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Sidhha will conduct a joint research programme on Keratoconus (disease where the eye ball bulges out, taking a conical shape).

Managing Director and Chief Medical Superintendent of Sreedhareeyam N.P.P. Namboodiri said here on Thursday that a multi-discipline validation study would be carried out as part of the new project.

A two-day national seminar on Keratoconus and the role of salakya tantra (dealing with treatment of organs above the neck) in checking ophthalmologic disorders would be held at Sreedhareeyam Hospital at Koothattukulam on December 9 and 10. Dr. Namboodiri said that about 100 salakya tantra experts would participate in the seminar..
