Indian President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam stressed the need for stem cell research as it had tremendous potential in ophthalmology.印度總統博士apj卡拉姆強調，需要幹細胞研究，因為它有著巨大的潛力在眼科的。

He said the recent identification and characterisation of progenitors with stem cell properties had opened up new avenues that might be useful for treating functional impairments caused by the death of specific cell population.他說，最近的識別和特性progenitors與幹細胞的特性開闢了新的途徑可能是有益的治療功能障礙所造成的死亡人口的具體細胞。 Stromal and neuronal degeneration were the two causes of debilitating visual impairment associated with many ocular diseases, he said.基質和神經元變性兩個原因衰弱的視覺受損與許多眼部疾病，他說。

Degenerative diseases of cornea, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma could be cured with stem cell research.退化性疾病的角膜，視網膜色素變性（ RP ）的，年齡相關性黃斑變性（ AMD ）和青光眼可以治愈，幹細胞研究。

He suggested that the ‘International Association for Prevention of Blindness’ along with ‘Lion’s Club International’ could join together with other partners and promote a research programme in stem cells based on the experience of the LV Prasad Eye Institute.他建議說， '國際交流協會，為防盲治盲'隨'獅子的國際俱樂部'可以加入同其他夥伴一起，推動一項研究方案，在幹細胞經驗的基礎上的呂普拉薩德眼科研究所。 The President said NANO-technology was finding large-scale applications in drug delivery system and biomedical application.主席說，納米技術是尋找大範圍的應用，在藥物釋放系統和生物醫學的應用。 The major eye care centres in the country could jointly set up a NANO Technology Research Foundation in collaboration with international institutions.主要眼科護理中心，在該國可以共同成立一個納米技術研究基金會合作，與國際機構。
