== Divya Prabha Eye Hospital ==
The Divya Prabha Eye Hospital was founded by Prabhakaran in hopes to protect the quality of vision in the community of Kerala, India.<ref name=":0" /> Prabhakaran was able to carry out the efforts of Dr. N. Prabhakaran—who died a year after establishing this clinic—and turned it into a full hospital with the ability to accommodate for cataract and glaucoma surgeries.<ref name=":0" /> The most common cause of blindness of the people of Kerala and other parts of India is cataract in terms of ophthalmological issues.<ref name=":1" /> Other ophthalmological problems in India include glaucoma, corneal blindness, posterior segment disorder, and many others.<ref name=":1" /> Prabhakaran's desire for this facility was to provide the best care for patients at an affordable price.<ref name=":0" />

After establishment as a clinic, the resources necessary for surgery were not available quite yet, which explains why patients advised for surgery were directed to a hospital in close proximity.<ref name=":0" /> When this hospital underwent the project of expansion to accommodate surgical procedures, a theatre complex was added, consisting of separate areas designed for septic procedures and a sterile air corridor.<ref name=":0" /> The doctors of this hospital work to update technology for the treatment of vision ailments and continue to educate themselves at conferences throughout the year. Although this facility is now a hospital, Prabhakaran has not stopped treating people who may not have the resources to afford such surgeries.
