Professional Summary
I’m Janarthan Veeramani, a third-year B.Sc. Optometry student on a mission to make eye care smarter and more accessible. As the founder of FocusLinks and Focus-IN, I am building an ecosystem of AI-powered tools to empower optometry students and practitioners worldwide. My journey began at LIHSM, Coimbatore, where I discovered that my true strength lies in creative thinking, not just academics. That mindset inspired me to build the tools I once wished I had as a student—tools that support smarter learning, clinical reasoning, and collaboration for the global eye care community. As the Head of Administration at OptoBharat, I focus on connecting fellow students, fostering collaboration, and creating opportunities for shared learning and professional growth. I also authored the research paper “Visual Telepathy: How Bionic Eyes Could Transform Communication,” published in IJFMR, exploring how bionic vision may revolutionize the way we connect. **"Balancing academics, clinical exposure, and development work is not easy but it's my way of transforming ideas into impact."** A special thanks to **Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Nivethitha Krishnan (Viji Mam)**, whose mentorship helped transform me from a simple, curious student into someone who thinks with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Her influence continues to shape the vision behind everything I build. Let’s connect and co-create the future of optometry through bold ideas, smart tools, and a vision that empowers everyone.
