Rajarathinams Jothi Eye Hospital

Our hospital is located at 57 L B Road in Adyar. It’s a well-known street, and we are right in the middle of it. Adyar is a busy place, so there’s always a lot of activity outside our doors. Inside, we focus on eyes. We have those machines where you put your chin on the rest and look at the little light or the picture of the house. It’s a bit of a process getting everyone’s eyes checked, and it takes time for the drops to work. The waiting room is usually full of people wearing sunglasses after their exams. We’ve been here for quite a while now, and the building has seen better days, but it’s sturdy and serves its purpose. I spend my time helping patients navigate from one room to another. It can be confusing for them if they can’t see very well. We don't have any polished marble floors or fancy art on the walls. It’s just a plain hospital where we help people with cataracts or just get them a new pair of glasses. The staff knows the routine by heart. At the end of the day, we close up the files and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow. It’s a lot of work, but someone has to do it. Adyar is a good place to be, even with all the traffic on L B Road. Sometimes the lift in the building is a bit temperamental, so we tell people to take it slow.
