About us
The Story of Poona Eye Care
At Poona Eye Care, our journey began with a vision that went beyond clinical excellence. Founded by Dr. Nitin Kolte, a dedicated and forward-thinking ophthalmologist, the centre was built on a simple yet powerful idea — to create an institution that belongs to the people of Pune.
Rather than associating the clinic with an individual name, Dr. Kolte chose Poona Eye Care to reflect a larger purpose: a trusted eye care destination that would serve generations with integrity, compassion, and consistency.
From day one, our belief has remained unchanged — every individual deserves not only clear vision, but also respectful and compassionate care. This philosophy continues to guide everything we do.
A Legacy of Trust & Care
What started as a single doctor’s vision has today evolved into a centre known for its trust, ethical practice, and patient-first approach.
At Poona Eye Care, we understand that eye health is deeply connected to your daily life, independence, and confidence. Patients often walk in with concerns, uncertainties, and questions — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our approach combines:
- Advanced, state-of-the-art technology
- Experienced and dedicated specialists
- A warm, empathetic patient experience
So that every individual feels heard, guided, and cared for at every stage of their journey.
Vision
To be Pune’s most trusted and advanced eye care destination, dedicated to preserving and restoring vision through compassionate service, cutting-edge technology, and continuous medical excellence.
Our Mission
With Mission Healthy Eyes, we are committed to delivering comprehensive, ethical, and affordable eye care through clinical expertise, advanced technology, and compassionate service, while collaborating with doctors, partners, and the community.
Where Technology Meets Human Touch
Modern eye care demands precision, but true healing requires compassion.
At Poona Eye Care, we have created an environment where:
- Clinical excellence meets personalised attention
- Advanced diagnostics meet clear communication
- Surgical expertise meets patient comfort
From routine eye check-ups to advanced surgical treatments, every service is delivered with a commitment to accuracy, safety, and patient well-being.
Our Commitment
At the heart of Poona Eye Care lies a promise — to preserve and restore your vision with honesty, compassion, and clinical excellence.
We are not just treating eye conditions; we are helping individuals see clearly, live confidently, and experience life without limitations.
Because for us, your vision is not just a responsibility —
it is a lifelong commitment.
