Pupil
The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris. The function of the pupil is to allow light to enter the eye so it can be focused on the retina to begin the process of sight. Typically, the pupils appear perfectly round, equal in size and black in color. The black color is because light that passes through the pupil is absorbed by the retina and is not reflected back (in normal lighting).
Iris
Iris is a thin, annular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil, thus the amount of light reaching the retina. Eye color is defined by that of the iris.
Cornea
Cornea is the transparent part of the eye that covers the front portion of the eye. It covers the pupil, iris, and anterior chamber (the fluid-filled inside of the eye). The cornea's main function is to refract, or bend, light.
Sclera
The sclera is the white part of the eye that surrounds the cornea. In fact, the sclera forms more than 80 percent of the surface area of the eyeball, extending from the cornea all the way to the optic nerve, which exits the back of the eye. Only a small portion of the anterior sclera is visible.
Lens
The lens allows the eye to focus on objects at varying distances. It is located behind the iris and in front of the vitreous body.
Vitreous
The vitreous humour (also known simply as the vitreous) is a clear, colourless fluid that fills the space between the lens and the retina of your eye. 99% of it consists of water and the rest is a mixture of collagen, proteins, salts and sugars. Despite the water-to-collagen ratio, the vitreous has a firm jelly-like consistency.
Retina
Retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye on the inside. It is located near the optic nerve. The purpose of the retina is to receive light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals, and send these signals on to the brain for visual recognition.
Optic Nerve
Optic nerve, second cranial nerve, which carries sensory nerve impulses from the more than one million ganglion cells of the retina toward the visual centres in the brain.
The optic nerve begins at the optic disk, a structure that is 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) in diameter and is located at the back of the eye. The optic disk forms from the convergence of ganglion cell output fibres (called axons) as they pass out of the eye.
Macula
The macula lutea — more commonly called the macula — is the most sensitive spot in the center of the light-sensitive retina in the back of the eye. The macula is responsible for visual acuity, central vision and color vision.
Ciliary body
The ciliary body is the forward continuation of the choroid. It is a muscular ring, triangular in horizontal section, beginning at the region called the ora serrata and ending, in front, as the root of the iris.
Choroid
The choroid, also known as the choroidea or choroid coat, is the vascular layer of the eye, containing connective tissues, and lying between the retina and the sclera. The choroid supplies nutrition to the posterior layers of the retina.
Clinical Specialities
Experienced Super Specialists for Cataract – Phaco and Micro Incision Surgery with Intra Ocular Lens Implants, LASIK and Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Implant Surgery for removal of glasses, Vitreo-Retinal Surgery and Laser Treatments, Glaucoma Surgery, Squint & Oculoplastics and Corneal Transplantation surgeries by respective specialists.
CATARACT
A Clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Most cataracts develop slowly over the course of years. The main symptom is blurry vision. Having cataracts can be like looking through a cloudy window. When a cataract interferes with someone's usual activities, the cloudy lens can be replaced with a clear, artificial lens. This is generally a safe procedure and is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the world.
REFRACTIVE ERROR
A refractive error is a very common eye problem that makes it hard to see clearly. It occurs when the shape or size of the eye keeps light from focussing correctly on the retina (a light sensitive layer in the back part of the eye). The result of refractive error is blurring of vision, which is sometimes so severe that it causes visual impairment. It is easily corrected by using prescribed glasses or contact lenses.
DIRECT TO HOME EYE CARE
We are the first Eye Care professionals to offer this service which is the Brain child of our esteemed Founder Prof. (Dr.) Madan Mohan for primary eye check-up for Old and infirm patients as well as children who can’t risk to go out during the pandemic or otherwise. A team consisting of a trained Optometrist along with ancillary staff visits the patient’s residence/ office with eye check-up equipment and completes an eye evaluation. This is then followed by a video consultation with the Consultant for the final advice.
CORNEA
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, anterior chamber and admits light into the eye. The cornea’s main function is to bend /refracts light. The cornea accounts for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power.
LASIK-LASER
LASIK commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. In this procedure, a flap of the corneal surface is raised and a thin layer of underlying tissue is removed using a femtosecond laser. By doing so the shape of the Cornea is changed, which helps to eliminate the requirement of spectacles.
GLAUCOMA
A group of eye conditions that damages the optic nerve, which is necessary for good vision. This damage is frequently caused by high pressure in the eye. If untreated, Glaucoma can lead to blindness. The most common type of glaucoma (open-angle glaucoma) often has no symptoms other than slow vision loss. Angle-closure glaucoma, although rare, is a medical emergency and its symptoms include eye pain with nausea and sudden visual disturbance.
SQUINT AND PEDIATRIC OPHTHALMOLOGY
Disorder in which both the eyes don't look in exactly the same direction at the same time. Squint is particularly common in children, though it can occur at any time. One of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down while the other eye looks straight. Other causes of strabismus can include nerve injury or dysfunction of the muscles controlling the eye.
OCULAR PLASTICS
Oculoplasty refers to reconstructive plastic surgery procedures relating to the eyelid, orbit, tear-ducts & face. It also deals with the face. It also deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures. Oculoplasty surgery may be performed to improve function, comfort and appearance for conditions such as tear drainage problems, eye lid malposition or cancers of the eye lids.
CONTACT LENSES
Contact lenses, or simply contacts, are thin lenses placed directly on the surface of the eyes. Contact lenses are ocular prosthetic devices and they can be worn to correct vision or for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes.
OCULAR SURFACE AND DRY EYE DISORDER
Dry Eye Disease, also known as Ocular Surface Disease is a very complex condition that is chronic and progressive. There are two primary types of dry eye disease: evaporative deficiency and aqueous deficiency. Evaporative DED is caused by Meibomian gland dysfunction and is present in over 80% of cases.
KERATOCONUS TREATMENT
When the clear dome shaped tissue that covers the eye (the cornea) thins and bulges outward into a cone shape, it is known as Keratoconus. In the mildest form of keratoconus, eye glasses or soft contact lenses may help. But as the disease progresses and the cornea thins and becomes increasingly more irregular in shape, glasses and regular soft contact lens designs no longer provide adequate vision correction. Advanced treatment for keratoconus includes RGP, Scleral and semi scleral lenses (Rose K Lenses), Corneal Cross Linking (C3R), INTACS & Corneal Transplant.
ADVANCE RETINA SERVICES
Advanced Retinal Treatment are available for Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Degeneration, Retinal Detachment, vascular Occlusion, Uveitis, Vitreous hemorrhage.
