Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital Launches World's First Pinhole Pupilloplasty Centre
Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital Limited has launched the World’s First dedicated Pinhole Pupilloplasty (PPP) Centre at its flagship facility in Alwarpet, Chennai. Inaugurated on August 27, 2026, by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru C. Joseph Vijay, the centre will offer advanced treatments for complex corneal disorders using the pioneering Pinhole Pupilloplasty technique developed by Dr. Amar Agarwal.

The centre aims to enhance access to this innovation, provide structured patient pathways, and serve as a training platform for ophthalmologists.
