Obstetrics is a medical specialty focused on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It involves monitoring the health of both the mother and the fetus, managing pregnancy-related complications, and ensuring safe delivery and postnatal care.
Retinal diseases encompass a variety of conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving vision. Here’s an overview of common retinal diseases and their treatments:
AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision.
This condition occurs in people with diabetes and involves damage to the retinal blood vessels, leading to leakage, swelling, and abnormal blood vessel growth.
Occurs when the retina separates from the underlying tissue, which can lead to permanent vision loss if not promptly treated.
Blockage of the retinal veins can cause swelling, bleeding, and reduced vision.
A small break in the macula that can cause blurred and distorted vision.
A group of genetic disorders that cause progressive retinal degeneration and vision loss.
Used primarily for wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion, anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections help reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.
Lasers can treat various retinal conditions by sealing leaks, reducing abnormal blood vessel growth, or creating a scar to secure the retina.
Used for certain types of wet AMD, PDT involves injecting a light-sensitive drug and activating it with a laser to destroy abnormal blood vessels.
A surgical procedure to remove the vitreous gel and repair retinal detachment, macular hole, or other vitreoretinal disorders.
A less invasive treatment for retinal detachment, involving the injection of a gas bubble into the eye to push the retina back into place.
A surgical procedure where a silicone band is placed around the eye to push the wall of the eye against the detached retina.
Steroid injections or implants (e.g., Ozurdex, Iluvien) are used to reduce inflammation and swelling in conditions like diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion.
Emerging treatments for inherited retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis involve gene therapy to correct genetic defects.
For dry AMD, high-dose vitamins and minerals (AREDS2 formulation) can slow disease progression.
Frequent eye exams and imaging tests (e.g., OCT, fluorescein angiography) to monitor disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
Educating patients about lifestyle modifications, such as controlling blood sugar levels in diabetic retinopathy, protecting eyes from UV light, and adopting a healthy diet rich in green leafy vegetables and fish.
For patients with significant vision loss, low vision aids and rehabilitation can help maximize remaining vision and maintain independence.
Oculoplasty, also known as oculoplastic surgery or ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the surgical and non-surgical treatment of the structures around the eye, including the eyelids, orbit (bony cavity surrounding the eye), tear ducts, and face. Here’s a detailed overview of the various aspects of oculoplasty:
Oculoplastic surgeons perform procedures to correct functional and cosmetic issues related to the eyelids:
These procedures address issues related to the orbit, or eye socket:
Treatments for tear duct and drainage system issues include:
Reconstructive procedures address deformities and restore function:
Cosmetic procedures to enhance the appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas:
Procedures related to the eye socket, especially after eye removal:
Specialized care for children with congenital or acquired eye and facial conditions:
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Managing and treating glaucoma typically involves reducing IOP to prevent further damage. Here’s a detailed overview of glaucoma therapy:
Medications are often the first line of treatment for glaucoma. They work by either decreasing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye) or increasing its outflow. Common types of medications include:
Laser treatments are used when medications are not sufficient or as an alternative to medications. Common laser therapies include:
When medications and laser therapy are not effective, surgical interventions may be necessary:
Regular monitoring is essential for managing glaucoma effectively. This includes:
Certain lifestyle changes and home care practices can support glaucoma treatment:
OCT or optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive test used for imaging the eyes. It employs light waves to capture cross-sectional images of the retina. It utilizes a concept called inferometry and creates a cross-sectional map of retina that is accurate to within at least 10-15 microns.
It is used for diagnosis of many retinal disease, especially when the media is clear. Generally, the lesions in macula can be more easily imaged than the lesions in the mid and far periphery. It is helpful in deiagnosing problems, such as presence of a macular hole, vitreomacular traction, detachments of the neurosensory retina, macular edema and exudates, macular pucker, detachments of retinal pigment epithelium, retinoschisis, pachychoroid, and choroidal tumors. Sometimes, using only OCT, a diagnosis can be made. In other cases, such as disorders of retinal vessel, other tests may have to be done.
ZEISS IOLMaster is used for optical biometry. It is a piece of cutting-edge technology that helps you improve your refractive outcomes. The performance of a biometer is its performance in challenging ophthalmic conditions. In denser cataracts, the ZEISS IOLMaster 500 yield a measurement success ratio that is up to 20% more than that of other optical biometry devices. It takes measurements along the visual axis, producing the relevant axial distance, in staphyloma, psuedophakic and silicon-filled eyes. It uses Haigis-L formula, thus helping treat myopic and hyperopic post-LVC cases. It is a great choice for cataract surgeons who want a reliable, easy and fast optical biometer for taking measurements. It comes with a well-designed user interface that allows surgeons to take distance-independent measurement and readings up to four times faster than other devices. Both the eyes can be measured in less than 60 seconds. ZEISS IOLMaster allows you to experience a different that is hard to go unnoticed.
We have expert surgeons who offer only the best surgical treatment for cataract removal. Experience the world through clearer and sharper vision with the help of our cataract surgeons.
Clouding or opacification of the normal lens of the eye is termed as cataract. Early cataract usually starts in the 40’s or 50’s. It increases slowly and takes a long time to develop and disturb vision. Surgery is generally advised when the cataract becomes dense enough to affect your daily activities such as driving, reading, or watching television.
The normal sharp vision decreases due to the cataract. Many patients experience blurred or dimmer vision, their reading speed slows down, more light, or higher glass powers are needed to see the same print. They may also see colored halos around lights and have difficulty in night driving
Most commonly a cataract develops with advancing age. Diabetes, excessive sunlight exposure, previous eye surgery, trauma, steroid medications are certain other factors that can increase your risk of developing a cataract.
During the hospital visit your vision will be tested, and pressure of the eye will be measured. A detailed slit lamp examination and a dilated fundus evaluation will be done. If a cataract is found to be the cause of visual disturbance, the various options available for clearer vision will be discussed.
Corrective glasses and good lighting will help initially. When corrective glasses don’t provide clear vision the effective method of treating cataract is surgery.
During cataract surgery, the cataractous lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
What Options Of Artificial Lenses Do We Have?
If you wish to have better near and distance vision, we have 2 options.
Monofocal Monovision is comfortable for many of our patients. For the first eye, we will calculate the lens power for distance or TV vision and later when operating on the second eye, we will calculate a power for near or reading vision.
Multifocal, Trifocal and Toric multifocal lenses are available for seeing near and distance with the same eye. These lenses need a healthy eye to see clearly, and special tests will be done to confirm that your eyes can support these lens functions. There will be some glare with multifocal lenses that usually lessens with time. Please inform us if you wish to find out if your eyes are suitable for these lenses. The full effect of these lenses is seen after we do surgery in both eyes.
Our state-of-the-art operation theatre is well equipped for safe surgeries. We have a competent anaesthetist who takes care of patients who have health issues like heart or lung problems and need eye surgery.
There are several packages for cataract surgery. We accept cash and credit cards.
If you have medical insurance, please contact the reception. They will guide you to the processes need to be initiated minimum 3 days prior to surgery. For queries regarding cost of surgery by direct payment, please contact (+91) 70910 90014 between MON-SAT 10:00 am – 7:30 pm.
On the day of the surgery, you will have to stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 hours. The surgery will be done safely and without pain. After cataract surgery you can usually resume normal activities like watching TV and cooking the same day.
If you or anyone in your home have fever, cough, or sneezing or have been in contact with anyone with a flu for the last 2 weeks, please inform the hospital and postpone the surgery for 2 weeks.
Children’s eyes need to be checked regularly for signs of health conditions. In a vision screening, the child is checked for the presence of eye issues and if required, asked to visit an eye doctor. This screening can be done by a pediatrician, family physician or an ophthalmologist himself/herself.
A newborn’s eyes should be tested for basic indicators of health of eyes. The testing may comprise blink and pupil response and red reflux. Red reflux is a test where a red light is shone into the eyes to see if each eye returns a reflux. In case of prematurity, an eye doctor should check the baby’s eyes. If there are signs of eye disease or a family history of childhood disease, tests should be done to find out if the baby has the condition.
In the first year of life, eyes should be tested a second time.
Then between 12 and 36 months, normal development of eyes should be checked. A photo screening test may be done that involves a camera taking snaps of your child’s eyes. These snaps are helpful in determining if any issues exist that can lead to lazy eye.
Between 3-5 years of age, the vision and eye alignment testing should be done. As soon as the child can read, visual acuity should be checked. There are many people who are just about farsighted but can see things at distance. Most of such children will not need eyeglasses or other form of vision correction. You should have your eye doctor look at your child for presence of misaligned eyes, lazy eye, refractive errors, or another problem related to focusing of the eyes. The treatments for these conditions should begin as soon as possible as it is the best thing you can do to protect your child’s eyes.
At 5 years of age, visual acuity and alignment of eyes should be checked again. Nearsightedness is one of the most common problem that occurs in this age. An eye doctor will examine your child’s eyes for presence of misaligned eyes or symptoms of other eye issues. Children who are undergoing growth hormone therapy should get their eyes tested before and during the treatment.

In India, as of now, around 77 million people are living with diabetes. Anyone with diabetes is at risk of developing diabetic eye disease. When diabetic control is bad for many years diabetes will damage the retina and will need extensive treatment to mitigate the damage.
Diabetic eye disease includes diabetic macular edema, non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes also is a risk factor for developing other eye conditions like cataract, glaucoma, and vein occlusion.
Diabetic eye disease can be asymptomatic or can present with floaters, blurred vision, sudden onset of a shadow or curtain obstructing vision. The disease can be quite advanced before it turns symptomatic underlining the importance of regular eye examinations.
Some of the risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy:
The disease can be quite severe before you notice any change in your vision. Therefore, an eye exam is advised within 5 years of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and as soon as a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is made. Regular follow up examinations will help identify diabetic damage to the eye in the early stages.
Yes. By maintaining blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol parameters within normal range, by taking a diet with less animal fat, less salt and high fiber and by having periodical eye checkup as advised by your ophthalmologist, diabetic retinopathy can be prevented.
