Testimonials

Hear it from our happy students

Under Dr. Avvai's guidance, I honed my skills in refraction, contact lens fitting, and squint evaluation. JEH's family-like atmosphere made it a home for distant students like me. The courtesy of doctors and staff made a lasting impression. In 2024, my strong connection with JEH endures; I'm still in touch with teachers and friends, a witness to the lasting relationships built. JEH doesn't just provide theoretical knowledge; it immerses students in practical experiences from day one, eliminating the need for additional training. I wholeheartedly recommend JEH to aspiring optometrists; its commitment to excellence ensures not just knowledge but practical skills for a successful career. JEH is more than an institution; it's the foundation for a thriving professional journey, where success is a result of both dedication and divine grace.

Attending the Institute of Ophthalmology at Joseph Institute was a pivotal moment in my career. The experience provided me with essential skills that have been instrumental in my roles within both the private and government sectors. I had the privilege of working with a diverse range of patients and received top-notch training on advanced instruments, which directly contributed to my growth in clinical abilities and my ability to provide exceptional patient care.
