About Us

Ozanam Eye Centre is a pioneering eye hospital in the private sector of South Kerala. The Centre is a testament to the exceptional foresight of H.E. Jerome M Fernandez, who recognized the need for specialized eye care services in the region.

Since 1976, St. Vincent De Paul Society and Bishop Benziger Hospital have jointly organized free eye treatment camps, with four beds reserved for eye patients at the hospital. These camps, however, highlighted the need for a dedicated eye hospital, prompting H.E. Jerome M Fernandez and the Society of St. Vincent De Paul Quilon Central Council president, Shri. Felix John, to propose the idea. The initiative received significant support from Dr. A.Q.C. Vanruiten, the vice president of SSVP International Council.

Appointment

The Ozanam Eye Centre was built on the site of Bishop Benziger Hospital with funds raised by St. Vincent De Paul through the efforts of Dr. A.Q.C. Vanruiten and the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind, an international organization dedicated to alleviating blindness. On 11th February 1978, His Excellency Rt Rev Dr. Jerome M Fernandez (Bishop of Quilon) blessed the foundation stone of the building laid by Dr. A.Q.C. Vanruiten. The building was later blessed by His Excellency Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph G Fernandez (Bishop of Quilon) on 30th December 1979, and inaugurated by Dr. A.Q.C. Vanruiten.

Today, the Ozanam Eye Centre is a leading eye hospital in Kollam Town, providing comprehensive eye care services to patients from across the region. The Centre has overcome numerous challenges to become a beacon of excellence in the field of ophthalmology, and continues to strive towards providing the highest standards of care to its patients.
