- Allergic Conjunctivitis: Commonly affecting children, in urban settings, Allergic Conjunctivitis requires early intervention for the best results. Parents should be alert to symptoms like itching, constant Eye rubbing, redness, watering, and discharge. Early treatment prevents complications like altered Eye shape and increased refractive power. To manage symptoms, we offer allergy testing and ophthalmology treatment plans, including medications and lifestyle recommendations, and recommend preventative measures to minimise exposure to allergens and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
- Retinopathy: Diabetes and hypertension, the leading causes of blindness worldwide are conditions that affect the retinal blood vessels, leading to permanent blindness. Regular fundus examinations and timely interventions are crucial to preserving your vision.

- Corneal Transplants: Conditions such as corneal infections, dystrophies, degenerations, and trauma can cause permanent corneal scarring and vision loss. Our advanced corneal transplant procedures restore vision and enhance the quality of life.

- Glaucoma: One of the leading causes of blindness glaucoma is mostly seen among the geriatric patients. Nevertheless, the blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early diagnosis and treatment. It is usually caused by the increase in intraocular (pressure in eye) damaging the optic nerve. Ther are medications to treat glaucoma but in severe cases, laser surgery may be employed. There are two main types of laser surgery to treat glaucoma – trabeculoplasty and iridotomy. Both help in the aqueous drain from the eye.
