Ophthalmology - Eye Care and Surgery in India

Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine which deals with the diseases and surgery of the visual pathways, including the eye and brain. The word ophthalmology comes from the Greek roots ophthalmos meaning eye and logos meaning word; ophthalmology literally means "The science of eyes." As a discipline it applies to animal eyes also, since the differences from human practice are surprisingly minor and are related mainly to differences in anatomy or prevalence, not differences in disease processes. By convention the term ophthalmologist is more restricted and implies a medically trained specialist. Since ophthalmologists perform operations on eyes, they are generally categorized as surgeons.

Treatments and Surgery available

Cataract

• Micro incision suture less cataract surgery
• "Cold Phaco" Less Tissue Damage

Glaucoma

• Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis with GDxVCC & Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

LASIK

LASIK is the safest and accurate method to correct short sight (myopia), Long sight (Hyperopia), Astigmatism (Cylindrical powers) and other Corneal scarring disorders. The basis for all laser eye surgery is to reshape the cornea such that it changes the focal point of the eye. Ideally, the focal point is changed so that it focuses perfectly on the retina, just like a normal eye. Click here to know more on LASIK - FAQs and Procedure on LASIK
