Ophthalmology

At the super specialty hospitals that we are associated with in India, state of the art eye treatments are available for the respective ophthalmology departments. From lasik surgery to surgery for glaucoma, squint correction and cataract, every kind of medical treatments in India uses state of the art instruments and techniques. Given below are some of the opthalmology treatments available in India.

Phaco

Phaco treatment for cataract. The Phaco surgery involves making a small incision in the eye and inserting a hollow tube, called phaco needle, through the incision. Heat emitted through the phaco needle destroys the diseased lens, which is then vacuumed out through the needle. And artificial plastic lens is placed in the eye. There is no need to seal the opening after surgery.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is caused when increased fluid buildup in the eye causes loss of vision. Our associate hospitals have the latest diagnostic tools like perimetry and treatments ranging from eye drops to laser are available for those suffering from glaucoma.

Squint Correction

Squints, or cross-eyes, are caused when the muscles of the eyes do not move in tandem. At our associated hospitals, squints are corrected through glasses, eye exercises or surgery. The squint correction treatment involving children is provided in a relaxed atmosphere.

Retinal Detachment

The retina of the eye is a delicate membrane on which images from the external world are screened. Injuries may sometimes cause retinal detachment, when the retina gets moved from its position. The only option in case of retinal detachment is to go for surgery. We facilitate treatment for vitreo retinal disorders including retinal detachment using state of the art equipments and techniques. These facilities are available with our associate hospitals.

Vitrectomy

The bulk of the eye is made of vitreous fluid that has nutritive value, apart from forming a protective cushion for the retina and lens of the eye. When the clear vitreous fluid is contaminated through debris like blood, pus and other tissue, it causes loss of vision. Vitrectomy involves microsurgery, through which the contaminated vitreous fluid is removed. Our associates that specialize in Eye Care, the latest in Vitrectomy is available, including laser, and silicone oil procedures.

Ptosis

Ptosis refers to droopiness of eyelids. The condition refers to the inability of a person to lift his or her eyelids completely. Ptosis is caused by eyelid muscle injury, or is a condition present from birth. We facilitate the treatment for Ptosis at our network associate hospitals

Treatments and Surgery available

Cataract

• Micro incision suture less cataract surgery
• "Cold Phaco" Less Tissue Damage

Glaucoma

• Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis with GDxVCC & Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
• Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)

LASIK

LASIK is the safest and accurate method to correct short sight (myopia), Long sight (Hyperopia), Astigmatism (Cylindrical powers) and other Corneal scarring disorders. The basis for all laser eye surgery is to reshape the cornea such that it changes the focal point of the eye. Ideally, the focal point is changed so that it focuses perfectly on the retina, just like a normal eye.

• Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis with GDxVCC & Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Retinal Disorder

• Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis with GDxVCC & Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
