Respected Sir,
Attention :Dr. Prem Subramanian,
I hv by now about 90% vision loss in my right eye due Right eye optic neuritis.
Initially when I went to local eye clinics in Mumbai one after another none cud diagnose the problem and wound up saying it may be due to onset of cataract. Finally after lot of hunting and several tests and finally MRI the conclusion was that it is Right eye optic neuritis.
I vigorously hunted for neuro-ophthalmologist in Mumbai but none of the even leading eye hospital and multispeciality hospitals had neuro-ophthalmologist in Mumbai. Many hospitals and eye specialist did not know that there is a super super speciality field like neuro-ophthalmology.
Finally net search gave me list of some neuro-ophthalmologist at Sankara Netralaya. That is an excellent hospital but they also did not have any solutions for me.
My request is :
1. Pl. give me your personal email id.
2. Pl. have similar programme in Mumbai / India as you had in Vietnam. I know the initiative was from Vietnamese and v lack here such initiatives from health ministry, NGOs. , Eye doctors associations and hospitals. But if you try then some thing may come up in near future or else Indians suffering here will be deprived for right diagnosis and treatment for decades.
3. for my personal issues which id I must write and what will be expense if I plan to visit and consult yourgoodself.
4. I tried to enroll on your eye hospitals newsletter but it allows only US citizens to enroll. Pl. allow other country specialists and citizens to also enroll and get deeper insight.
It is hearty to note that you went at your own expense to share your valuable knowledge in the field of neuro-ophthalmology all the way to Vietnam. We are proud of you rather our newspapers must cover proudly this yeomen service of yours and expect same for your countrymen too.

official Silver Spring doctor volunteers for Vietnam eye conference -- Gazette.Net: http://www.gazette.net/
Silver Spring doctor volunteers for Vietnam eye conference
The four-day conference was held by the nonprofit Hawaiian Eye Foundation in partnership with Hue Central Hospital, the foundation said in a press release.
Dr. Prem Subramanian of Silver Spring, a neuro-ophthalmologist with the Wilmer Eye Institute, was part of a volunteer faculty group that took part in the Imperial City Eye Meeting in Hue, Vietnam, in April.
Almost 300 ophthalmology students and practicing ophthalmologists from throughout Vietnam participated.
Subramanian and other faculty members traveled to Vietnam at their own expense.
“It was a tremendous opportunity to teach our Vietnamese colleagues about neuro-ophthalmology, since there are no neuro-ophthalmologists in Vietnam,” Subramanian said in the press release. “The knowledge they gained will help them to care for challenging eye problems in their patients.”

About the Wilmer Dome

The Dome, located on the third floor of the Wilmer building, remains open to public viewing of displayed historical interest items, including the portrait of founding director William H. Wilmer, M.D.; early ophthalmic instruments; the "President's Chair" used by Dr. Wilmer to examine eight Presidents of the United States; and a selection of photography from the Wilmer Eye Institute archives. Formerly the surgical suite prior to the opening of the Bendann Pavilion, the space is now the home of Wilmer's Central Surgical Scheduling unit.
