Read the following comprehension and answer the questions that follow:
Someone has rightly said that Necessity is the mother of invention. Moreover, Indian doctors have been quite creative when their work was hampered due to availability of few or no tools to perform specific surgeries. They simply designed it for themselves for one-fourth of the price, at which they were being sold abroad. In fact, some of their innovations are priced at as much as hundreds of dollars abroad.
We can take the example of 47-year-old Dr Burjor P Banaji, pioneer of Lasik surgery in India. He has invented over a dozen surgical instruments. When this senior eye surgeon at Max Eye Care started Lasik surgery, there were few surgeons doing it worldwide and no specific instruments were available either. "As I wanted things super-perfect, I designed a whole slew of instruments that made my surgery more efficient," says Banaji. The most popular instruments are Banaji Lasik Shield and Banaji Lasik Spatula and Canulae. "It was simple. I had the designs in my head. Putting them down on paper was the simplest thing," he says. Instruments manufacturers and large multinationals in the US snapped them up. "They would send me computer generated drawings which I would correct and send back. Their level of execution was astounding. Within two weeks of the designs being finalised, the instruments were in the world market."
His instruments are priced at hundreds of dollars each in the US, and are also sold in Switzerland, South America, Korea, Eastern Europe, Africa and Japan. They are available in India at a fraction of the price.
