Founded by Optom. Abhinav Maharwal, Sight First Foundation was created to address the unmet needs in visual rehabilitation and pediatric optometry in India. We saw children struggling in silence — not because of lack of intelligence, but due to undiagnosed vision issues like CVI, convergence problems, and eye coordination disorders. Our mission is to fill that gap with empathy, expertise, and education.
