Our Mission &Our Story
14 years of expert eye care, compassionate service, and transforming lives through better vision.
Seeing is Believing
Over 12,000 patients helped to see the world more clearly since 2010.
From a Small Clinic to a Trusted Eye Care Centre
Nelgate's Eye Care Centre was founded in 2010 with a clear vision: to bring world-class eye care to every patient in our community, regardless of background or budget.
What began as a single-doctor practice has grown into a full-service centre with 8 specialist doctors, advanced diagnostic equipment, and a reputation built entirely on patient outcomes and trust.
We believe that great eye care starts with listening — understanding each patient's unique needs before recommending any treatment.
"Our purpose is simple — to help every patient see clearly and live fully. That drives everything we do."— Dr. Nelson Kumar, Founder & Chief Ophthalmologist
