Eye Care / Ophthalmology

The "eye" is a soft organ & it requires extreme care before, during and after a surgical procedure. An expert ophthalmologist must identify the requirements for specific procedure and be responsible for conducting the procedure safely. In India we have various eye care centers that are equipped with all the latest & hi-tech machines to carry out all eye related operations, with utmost precision and accuracy.

Moreover, the added advantage with India is that, all the Treatments Offered here cost much lesser than US, UK & European Countries. Therefore, the patient acquires quality treatment in a cost effective manner. In the recent past, there have been numerous foreign patients, who have visited India for medical reasons & have extracted maximum benefit, be it in terms of treatment or cost effectiveness.

Few of the major Eye Care surgeries that can be performed in India with precision are:

Laser Eye Surgery
Although the terms Laser Eye Surgery and Refractive surgery are most frequently used as if they were interchangeable, which is not the case. Lasers may be used to treat non-refractive conditions (e.g. to seal a retinal tear), while radial keratotomy is an example of refractive surgery without the use of a laser.

Cataract Surgery
A cataract is an opacification or cloudiness of the eye's crystalline lens, usually caused due to aging, disease, or trauma, which typically prevents light from forming a clear image on the retina. If visual loss is significant, surgical removal of the lens may be warranted, with lost optical power is replaced with a plastic intraocular lens (IOL). Due to the high prevalence of cataract patients, cataract extraction is the most common eye surgery in the country.

Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma is amidst the group of diseases affecting the optic nerve, which results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are various types of glaucoma surgery available, and variations or combinations of those types, which facilitates the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous.

Oculoplastic Surgery
Oculoplastic surgery, or oculoplastics, is the sub specialty of ophthalmology that primarily addresses the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures. Oculoplastic surgeons perform various procedures including; the repair of droopy eyelids (blepharoplasty), repair of tear duct obstructions, orbital fracture repairs, removal of tumors in and around the eyes, and facial rejuvenation procedures of skin resurfacing, eye lifts, brow lifts, facelifts & more.
