Eye Health Nepal

What Eye Health Nepal does

Eye Health Nepal is a Kathmandu-based digital content platform operating as Nepal's leading ophthalmology and optometry blog, serving eye care professionals, optometry and ophthalmology students, and a secondary audience of general eye health consumers in Nepal. The platform is built on a WordPress-based content management system, distributing free educational articles, clinical notes, disease guides, admission and licensing examination resources, hospital vacancy announcements, optical product information, and an interactive Keratometer D to mm Converter clinical tool. Content is amplified across six social media channels (Facebook with 13K likes, YouTube with 8K subscribers, plus Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn) and a MailChimp-powered email newsletter.

The company operates with a 5-person team and generates revenue exclusively through display advertising and sponsored/featured content placements from a small set of optical brand advertisers, primarily Tokai Optical Japan (via Nepal distributor Vision Point Distributors) and Oppix Eyewear. There is no subscription, paywall, or transactional revenue model. Notable content assets include Nepal-specific resources unavailable elsewhere: RAAB survey reports for three provinces, NHPC licensing examination results for three programs covering 231 candidates, and Bagmati Province eye clinic registration standards.

The business model is content-led and entirely digital, with no physical products, offline channels, or direct sales force. Eye Health Nepal functions as a media partner for institutional actors including Nepal Ophthalmic Society, Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh (which operates 20 eye hospitals and 121 eye care centers), the Medical Education Commission, and Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (a WHO Collaborating Centre for Ophthalmology). The platform has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no ownership structure beyond independent operation.
