Appointments and Visiting
You can book an appointment by calling our reception desk directly, or by using the online booking form on our website. We recommend booking in advance, especially if you wish to see a specific specialist or if you are traveling from outside the city.
Please bring a photo ID (e.g., Aadhar card, Passport), your insurance card/documents (if applicable), all previous eye reports and prescriptions, and a list of all current medications you are taking (including non-eye related ones).
A comprehensive eye examination often involves pupil dilation to allow the doctor to thoroughly examine the retina and optic nerve. This process requires waiting time for the drops to take effect. Please plan for your visit to last 2 to 3 hours.
No. If your pupils are dilated, your vision will be blurry and sensitive to light for several hours. You must arrange for a driver or use public transport/taxi for your trip home for your safety.
Services and Procedures
Yes. We have a dedicated Glaucoma service offering comprehensive diagnosis using advanced tools like OCT and Visual Field testing, and providing all treatment options, including medicated eye drops, laser procedures (like SLT), and Glaucoma surgery (Trabeculectomy).
LASIK is a procedure that reshapes the cornea using a laser to correct vision.
Phakic IOL (Implantable Collamer Lens/ICL) involves implanting a permanent lens inside the eye without removing the natural lens. Phakic IOL is often preferred for patients with very high prescriptions, thin corneas, or severe dry eyes who are not good candidates for LASIK.
Yes. Our Contact Lens Clinic offers soft, toric, multifocal, RGP, and specialty lenses like Scleral Lenses, which are crucial for complex cases such as Keratoconus and severe dry eye.
Orthoptics is a specialty focused on the non-surgical management of eye movement and alignment disorders. It treats conditions like squint (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), and double vision (diplopia) using visual therapy and exercises.
Post-Operative Care and Safety
The most important things to avoid are:
Rubbing or pressing the operated eye.
Getting water, soap, or shampoo directly into the eye for the first week.
Heavy lifting or strenuous activity for the first few weeks.
Swimming or using hot tubs for at least one month.
If you experience any of the following, contact us immediately:
Sudden severe pain not relieved by medication.
Significant, sudden decrease in vision.
Excessive discharge (pus) or swelling.
Increasing redness in the operated eye.
