4. Products
Magic Eye would be a unique solution for visually impaired. The product would
not be a replica of a natural eye but could help a person in identifying his
surroundings well. This product may turn out to be revolutionary with further
advancement and refined researches.
So far no such device is available in India. This will not just be a benefit the
company in terms of sales and profit but also to facilitate the handicap that could
not be partially or fully cured.
The product could be used by people who once had a vision but due to some
reason have lost their eyesight and now they could see with their brains through
this Magic Eye.
11 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
The product Magic Eye, would be of use for especially those people who
have lost their eyesight and not for those who were blind by birth. The
product would fulfill their need of seeing but it will be done through brains.
- Since this is a first of its kind product in India, there would no competition in
the market. Hence, the company would benefit as a monopoly player.
12 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
4.4. Sourcing
The Magic Eye will import most of the machinery and raw materials. Two
second hand machineries would be purchased from Bolton Company
situated in U.K for around Rs.80lacs. First machine will be of Rs.30lacs,
which will be used for making lens for the eye. And the second machine
worth Rs.50lacs will be used for making the structure of eye. A loan of Rs.
80lacs would be taken from two of the local banks, HSBC and HDFC, and
both the machineries would be kept as mortgage in the banks. Other
equipments like camera and transmitter would also be purchased from
Bolton for Rs. 8000 and Rs7000. For the plastic, for making lens and outer
body of the product, a tie up would be done with the Bausch and Lomb
company which would cost around Rs 6000 and 5000 per piece and finally
the chip which is made of titanium would be manufactured in our own
company for Rs. 30,000 per piece. Proper relations would be made with the
suppliers by paying them the amount at the right time.
4.5. Technology
13 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
The one goal with which we will move ahead would be to develop an
implantable micro-electronic prosthesis for patients who are blind due to
retinal problems. We have identified a few diseases and will do our best to
treat them which include ‘'age-related macular degeneration'' and ‘'retinitis
pigmentosa''. These are few of the leading causes of blindness in today's
industrialized world. Even with these dilemmas, ample number of nerve cells
remains healthy. These are those cells which connect the eye to the brain.
These healthy cells help in restoring visual rehabilitation with the help of a
prosthesis which will connect to those cells which have visual information
and carry the electrical stimulation to the brain.
This technology of visual prosthesis must get two inputs. First is the
information about the visual signal and second the power for electronics to
work and excite the retina to create corresponding visual image. It is not
practical in long-term implanation to have wires entering the body or
batteries which have a limited lifetime. Therefore it is necessary to direct the
visual signals along with power without wires to the implant. For this wireless
method of communication in our design, we shall use radiofrequency (RF)
transmission.
14 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
Apart from this prosthesis, there will be a camera which will capture a visual
scene and will analyze it in order to convert it into a pattern of electrical
stimulation. The power-data information will be forwarded wirelessly to the
receiving coil placed on the prosthesis. This information drives the
stimulation electrodes. The electrical current passing from these single
electrodes stimulates the cells in the retina that are corresponding to the
features in the visual scene. This process would then allow the person to see
an image through this Magic Eye.
4.6. Working
The working of the Magic Eye will follow a simple procedure. A chip will be
inserted in the eye-ball of the patient and a tiny camera on the outer cover of
the eye. A transmittor will be attached for the camera to capture the image
and transfer it to the chip. The chip will then brighten up like a bulb and the
image will be then reflected on the surface behind the chip from which data
will connect to the brain through the healthy nerve cells in the eye.
Opthal Solutions Pvt Ltd. could see a huge growth in today's fast paced world.
Magic Eye would be focusing on high-technology manufacturers of eye ball. The
target customers will be blind people of higher income group as the product's price
is set high. And also our main target will be high grade hospitals and also well
known Opthal surgeons.
15 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
1. Income- The cost of the product will be Rs.80,000 which will be higher
than the usual and therefore the target customer people will be higher
income group as they can afford it.

16 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
Many people were observed blind by birth and by accidents. The proportion
of accident cases are increasing day by day as compared to people who
are blind by birth, therefore the need to make such a product evoked. This
product will be the first to be produced of its kind in India and there is no other
product which can satisfy the need for it.
17 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
The Opthal Solution Pvt. Ltd. has a total population of 36,000,000 people. Out
of which 12% and above, people are rich that is 4,320,000. If we target only .
02% also, we will target 864 units in a year. We are expecting a growth of
40% increase in sales in the coming 2 years. India needs approximately of
2.5 lacs donated eyes every year from which all the eye banks could only
collect 25,000 eyes and out of which 30% cant be used. Even the eye
surgeries in India have increased from 3% in 1994 to 42% in 2002.
Medical equipments has been a growing industry in past and is still growing
because of technological innovations. The medical industry is constantly
growing at 23.3% every year which increases the growth of the companies.
In the case of Magic Eye, there will be no such competitors in this industry in
India, therefore the market share will be captured by Magic Eye alone which
in turn increases the growth of the industry.
18 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
In the case of our company, there will be one manufacturing unit in Pithampur
and two distributing units which will be in Delhi and Mumbai. It will be a form
of indirect marketing in which the consumers will buy the product from the
distributors. The transportation from the manufacturing unit to the distributors
will be given to Gati.
As the competition is less in this market therefore the customers will be left
with less alternatives. Looking at the disadvantages and advantages of the
eye transplant, customers would prefer Magic Eye instead of transplant.
Some of the features of our product 'The Magic Eye' will be:-Firstly, it will be
less expensive and will take less time as compared to the eye transplants.
Also the structure of eye will be made in such a way that it will suit all kinds of
human bodies.
As such there will be no other competitor available in the market which will
produce the same kind of product. But still there are eye transplants being
done by the opthal surgeons, which will be the only competitor for the Magic
Eye. The advantage of the eye transplant is that it is perfectly attached in the
eye hole and it looks as if it is the natural eye. And the disadvantages include
time constraint, higher cost, and most importantly the eye fixed may not suit
the body. So there will be no threat to our product as the advantages of our
product will be more as compared to the transplant.
The company's strategy would be to target people who have higher standard
of living and could pay high for such medical issues. These target audiences
will be approached through brouchers, print media and telecommunication.
19 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
The SWOT analysis gives the company an opportunity to test the internal
strengths and weaknesses of the company. It also examines the
opportunities which are there for the company and also the threats to the
company.
6.1.1. Strengths
6.1.2. Weaknesses
The company will also have some weaknesses which are as follows -
High Cost : The cost of the Magic Eye will be high, therefore
only rich people will be able to afford it.
Low Customer Base : The target market chosen for the Magic
Eye will be very low. The company will only target rich people
and will leave behind the lower and medium income group.
20 | P a g e
Opthal Solution Pvt Ltd.
6.1.3. Opportunities
6.1.4. Threats
The only threat to the company will be that – seeing this product and
technology, many people would try and come in the market with
different technology and compromise with the price and quality.
The Magic Eye competitive edge comes from the advantage of being a first
mover and also having relationships with Bolton company. Untill now no
other company has innovated such a product in India and the only other
alternative available is the eye transplant which is costlier and takes time.
Moreover the quality, features, its relationships with other distributors and
transporters and latest technology will also be the reasons which will give the
competitive edge to the Magic Eye.

Initially the product will be available only in Mumbai and Delhi and no
other places and people who would want to use this product could
collect it from either of the places and get it fit with the help of
specialized and trained doctors. The company will tie-up with GATI for
transporting the product from the manufactured centre to the outlet.
Distribution channel will not be preferred as it will increase the cost.
The product will be made at pithampur and then will be sent to the
outlets in Mumbai and Delhi.
For the sales of the product, the company will use indirect sales strategy.
The product from the manufacturing unit will be transported to the centres in
Mumbai and Delhi and will be sold there. According to the analysis total
number of people targeted who are accidently blind and comes in the
category of upper segment of the income group are 4,320,000. Out of which
in the first year only 864 people will be targeted and the sales growth is
expected to increase by 40% in coming two years and will reach
approximately 1694 units in the year 2010. To increase the sales awareness
among people is necessary and this will be done by advertising of the
product. Future planning is to increase centers in different cities and states in
the coming years when the sales of the product increases. We also plan to
give credit to the customers upto 30 days from the day they have bought it.
