Inpatient Department Core Services includes surgical and treatment services. Surgical services include Cataract services, Cornea services, Glaucoma, Orbit and Oculoplasty. Treatment services.
The Cataract and IOL Department is a well-managed unit in providing, high-quality, high-volume surgery with experienced doctors, adequate support staff, infrastructure and updated technology. The state of art facilities available includes cataract surgeries for all grades of normal and complicated cataracts, High end phacoemulsification systems (AMO) – which enable us to perform phacoemulsification (Micro incision suture less surgery) under topical anesthesia, Microscopes (Zeiss 1 FR) which help in decreasing intra operative complications as well as incorporating specialized IOLs Surgical instruments which help in minimal post-operative refractive errors ,Toric planners (Version) for precise Implantation of Toric IOLs , Majority of the cataract surgeries are performed using phacoemulsification technique.
The Glaucoma Services handle primary glaucoma’s, which are largely inherited, in addition to secondary glaucoma’s caused by trauma, inflammation, diabetes, retinal vascular disease and hyper mature cataracts. Deviations from normal retinal nerve fiber thickness are the earliest structural changes in persons with glaucoma. With glaucoma services poised for significant growth in patient services, research and training, a need-based assessment of various resources (human, technological, etc) are planned. The clinics are equipped with the most advanced diagnostic tools, such as the recent version of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to measure retinal nerve fiber thickness, to diagnose glaucoma at very early stages even before there is significant loss of vision.
Cornea services dedicated to the diagnosis and management of patients with corneal and external eye diseases and provide refractive surgical services. The scope of cornea services include Corneal Transplantation, Infectious Keratitis ( Corneal Ulcer ) management, Anterior segment trauma assessment and management, Ocular surface disorders including Dry Eye ,Contact lens related eye problems, Stem cell and Buccal Mucosal transplantation, Amniotic membrane transplantation, Pterygium Surgery with Fibrin Glue ( suture less), Rose K contact lenses and collagen Cross linking with Riboflavin (C3R / laser) for Keratoconus patients., Keratoprosthesis.
Neuro ophthalmology dedicated to the diagnosis and management of patients with visual loss due to optic neuritis, traumatic optic neuropathy, visual defects due to neurological disorders like stroke, intracranial tumors, hemorrhage in the brain, injuries, pupillary abnormalities, double vision due to cranial nerve palsiers, papilledema due to raised intracranial pressure, ocular myasthenia.
