In 2010 Tej Kohli funded his first corneal transplant at Niramaya Hospital in India and was present when the recipient had his bandages removed and was able to see his wife and family for the first time in decades. Tej Kohli immediately decided that eliminating poverty-driven corneal blindness was his calling and in the years since his Tej Kohli Foundation has made tens of thousands of treatment interventions to alleviate and cure corneal blindness in the world’s poorest communities. The Tej Kohli Foundation is also a leading backer of technological and scientific projects to find an accessible, affordable and scalable cure.
