Ophthalmology Department

1. Comprehensive Eye Care Services

Our Ophthalmology Department offers a broad range of services to diagnose, treat, and manage various eye conditions, including:

• Routine Eye Exams: Comprehensive eye check-ups to assess overall eye health, screen for diseases, and update prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses.
• Cataract Surgery: Modern, minimally invasive cataract surgery using phacoemulsification and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) for faster recovery and improved vision.
• Glaucoma Management: Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, using medications, laser treatments, and surgeries to manage eye pressure and prevent vision loss.
• Retinal Diseases: Diagnosis and management of conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and diabetic macular edema (DME).
• Corneal Diseases: Treatment for conditions such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and corneal infections, including corneal transplant surgery.
• Dry Eye Syndrome: Diagnosis and treatment for chronic dry eye, including advanced therapies like punctual plugs, lipiFlow, and anti-inflammatory treatments.
• Oculoplastic Surgery: Cosmetic and functional surgeries for eyelid disorders, including eyelid reconstruction, ptosis repair, and tear duct surgeries.
• Pediatric Ophthalmology: Specialized care for children’s eye conditions, including lazy eye (amblyopia), strabismus (crossed eyes), and refractive errors.

2. Experienced Ophthalmologists

Our ophthalmologists are highly trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of eye conditions. They offer:

• Expert Diagnosis: Using the latest diagnostic technologies, our specialists can accurately identify a wide range of eye conditions, from simple refractive errors to complex diseases like glaucoma and retinal disorders.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: We believe in providing customized treatment options tailored to each patient’s individual needs, whether it’s medication, surgery, or lifestyle adjustments.
• Multidisciplinary Care: For complex conditions like retinal diseases or ocular cancers, our ophthalmologists work closely with other specialists, such as oncologists, neurologists, and paediatricians, to provide comprehensive care.

3. Advanced Diagnostic Technology

Vedant hospital use the latest in diagnostic technology to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatments:

• OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): A non-invasive imaging test used to get detailed images of the retina and optic nerve, aiding in the early detection of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
• Fundus Photography: High-resolution images of the retina, used to monitor eye health and detect early signs of diseases like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
• Visual Field Testing: A test used to measure your peripheral vision and detect glaucoma or other eye diseases that affect the visual field.
• Slit-Lamp Examination: A microscope used to examine the eye’s front structures (cornea, lens, and iris), helping to diagnose conditions like cataracts, eye infections, and corneal disorders.
• Wavefront Technology: Used in refractive surgery to create highly detailed maps of the eye, improving outcomes in LASIK and other vision correction surgeries.
• Retinal Imaging: Advanced imaging systems, such as fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), to assess the health of your retina and blood vessels.

4. Cutting-Edge Treatments and Surgeries

We offer advanced treatments and surgical procedures to treat a wide variety of eye conditions:

• Cataract Surgery: Minimally invasive surgery using phacoemulsification to remove the cloudy lens, followed by the implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision. We offer specialized options such as premium IOLs for enhanced vision at multiple distances.
• LASIK and Refractive Surgery: Laser eye surgery to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses.
• Glaucoma Surgery: Surgical interventions like trabeculectomy or laser trabeculoplasty to reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
• Retinal Surgery: Advanced procedures to treat conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, including vitrectomy, laser photocoagulation, and anti-VEGF injections.
• Corneal Transplant: For patients with corneal diseases like keratoconus or corneal dystrophy, we perform keratoplasty (corneal transplant) to restore vision.
• Oculoplastic Surgery: Surgical treatments for eyelid and orbital disorders, including eyelid reconstruction, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), and tear duct surgeries.

5. Paediatric Ophthalmology

Our paediatric ophthalmology specialists are dedicated to the eye health of children, offering expert care for:

• Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Early diagnosis and treatment to prevent vision loss, often using patch therapy or corrective lenses.
• Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Non-surgical and surgical treatments for misalignment of the eyes, improving both cosmetic appearance and binocular vision.
• Refractive Errors in Children: Correcting vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

6. Eye Health Education and Support

We believe that patient education is a crucial part of eye care. Our team offers:

• Preventive Eye Care: Information on how to protect your eyes from UV damage, reduce eye strain, and maintain overall eye health.
• Post-Surgery Care: Detailed instructions on how to care for your eyes after surgeries like cataract removal, LASIK, or retinal surgery to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
• Nutritional Support for Eye Health: Guidance on maintaining a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants to support eye health, especially for conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts.
