Abstract
It was found out that Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Andhra Pradesh had performed at least 50% of the total cataract surgeries during the months of April to September while the populous states like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand performed only upto 26% during the same period. This paper presents the snapshot for the year 2008-09 and as India evolves and traverses through time, we would be witnessing evenly spread of cataract surgeries through out the year especially the northern & central belt resulting in fair distribution and consumption of scarce financial & human resources.
