Dear members of Globe Eye Foundation well-wishers and visitors, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the GEF Institute of Optometry website. I am honoured and feel very privileged to be the Principal of GEF Institute of Optometry.
We at this institute are passionate about learning. A learning institute that is dynamic with a positive learning environment for all our students. We impact a very practical way of learning approach, where all students are exposed to practical optometry right from day 1 along with theory as well.
We have dedicated faculty, we mould our students to be self-confident and face various challenges with courage, conviction and success.
We are a non-profit organisation so all financial surplus is reinvested in the education of students.
We have many successful stories from our past batches. Some at good jobs, some at good institutes, some entrepreneurs and so on.
I take this opportunity to acknowledge the extreme hard work of our dedicated staff and faculty by working round the clock to keep the Optometry college and Hospital at the peak of success.
Parents play a vital role in the overall development of the child. This institute's success depends on the cooperation between the students, staff and parents.
I wish our students all success in their endeavours.
