Eye Hospital in Salem
JB Eye Care & Retina Centre is one of the oldest eye hospitals in Salem catering to the eye care needs of people of this region. What started as a modest facility in 1986 has now grown to a well-known eye hospital recognised for its quality and standard of care. A full range of high quality eye care solutions is offered by our specialist eye doctors.
Our eye doctors are easily accessible to the public at our prominent location in the heart of Salem city on the arterial Saradha College Road close to other commercial establishments and a stone's throw from major general hospitals.
Patients are at the centre of every activity at our organisation. Our patients in turn have given us the ultimate compliment by referring their own family and friends to us. Their faith in us serves as an inspiration to work harder and live up to the trust reposed in us. In this era of automation, mechanization and computerization, we ensure provision of a personal and human touch to those who visit us. We strongly believe that this facet is of paramount importance in the healing process. A sense of comfort is felt by the patient. It also helps in continuity of care, especially for long standing ailments.
