Ophthalmologist Mohan Rajan is this year's recipient of the Outstanding Service for Prevention of Blindness Award 2026, a recognition that honours a career spanning more than three decades, during which he has worked in community ophthalmology and on efforts to prevent blindness in the Asia-Pacific region. The award specifically acknowledges sustained service in preventing loss of sight rather than a single achievement, reflecting his long engagement with community-level eye care. For the eye specialist, the 2026 honour adds recognition to thirty-plus years of work in the field across the region.
