My father in law(aged 67) got the cataract done, was very successful. The doctors and hospital staff are very helpful and were in no rush and explained the diagnosis and gave honest suggestions. They take personal interest in the patient, pay attention to details and are open to clarify any doubts. We are very happy with the treatment and would recommend them to our friends/family as well.

I had visited the hospital for my cataract problem and got a very best response from the Doctors. My surgery went on very well and the post operation vision is extremely good. I feel the expertise of the Doctors in this field is excellent and the charges are very reasonable. The hospital is well equipped with latest technology in eye surgery. Am very happy with the treatment and the staff's at the hospital are very supportive.I personally thank the team for the eye care extended to me.

- An Ophthalmologist (DO / MS / MD /DNB) has a medical
degree and is licensed to practice medicine and perform eye
surgery. An ophthalmologist has had at least 12 years of
education and training beyond high school and is qualified to
diagnose and treat all eye diseases; perform surgery;
prescribe and fit glasses and contact lenses. - An Optometrist has a degree in optometry and is licensed to
practice optometry. An optometrist has had at least three
years of education and training beyond high school and is
qualified to determine the need for glasses and contact
lenses; prescribe optical correction; and screen for some eye
conditions. - An Optician usually has had on-the-job training. An optician is
trained to fit and dispense eyeglasses or contact lenses based
upon a prescription from a licensed ophthalmologist or
optometrist.
Newborn infants are able to see, but as they use their eyes during the first months of life, vision improves. During early childhood years, the visual system changes quickly and vision continues to develop. If a child cannot use his or her eyes normally, vision does not develop properly and may even decrease. After the first nine years of life, the visual system is usually fully developed and usually cannot be changed.
The development of equal vision in both eyes is necessary for normal vision. Many occupations are not open to people who have good vision in one eye only. If the vision in one eye should be lost later in life from an accident or illness, it is essential that the other eye have normal vision. Without normal vision in at least one eye, a person is visually impaired.
No, there is no evidence that working at a computer damages the eyes. However, long hours of work can be fatiguing to the eyes, neck and back. Monitor glare from various light sources can also be a problem. It is often helpful to take periodic breaks, looking off in the distance and adjusting your work station (angle of the monitor, height of the chair, changing the lighting, etc.).
Adult examinations of the eyes should be performed on a regular basis.
- Young adults (ages 20 – 39) should have their eyes examined every three-five years.
- Adults ages (ages 40 – 64) should have their eyes examined every two-four years.
- Seniors (over 65 years of age) should have their eyes examined every one-two years.
High risk adults include:
- People with diabetes / hypertension
- People with glaucoma or strong family history of glaucoma.
Most physicians test vision as part of a child’s medical examination. They may refer a child to an ophthalmologist if there is any sign of an eye condition. The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the first vision screening occur in the hospital as part of a newborn baby’s discharge examination. Visual function (including ocular alignment, etc.) also should be checked by the pediatrician or family physician during routine well-child exams (typically at two, four and six months of age). Later amblyopia and alignment screenings should take place at three years of age and then yearly after school age. If you suspect your child suffers from decreased vision – amblyopia (poor vision in an otherwise normal appearing eye), refractive error (nearsightedness or farsightedness) or strabismus (misalignment of the eye in any direction) – or if there are hereditary factors that might predispose your child to eye disease, please make an appointment with an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. New techniques make it possible to test vision in infants and young children. If there is a family history of misaligned eyes, childhood cataracts or a serious eye disease, an ophthalmologist can begin checking your child’s vision at a very early age.
Yes, viral conjunctivitis (pink-eye) is very common and is extremely contagious. Avoid touching eyes with your hands, wash hands frequently, do not share towels, and avoid work, school or daycare activities for a least five days or as long as discharge is present.
No, there is no scientific evidence that TV sets emit rays that are harmful to the eyes.
The ability to focus on near objects decreases steadily with age and is referred to as presbyopia. Presbyopia is a natural aging of the lens. It is usually near the age of 40, when glasses or bifocals are prescribed to correct this condition.
There is a benefit to wearing UV protective lenses–wearing them may protect against cataract formation. Clear lenses with UV protection may offer greater protection than dark lenses because they allow the eyes to be exposed to more light. This causes greater constriction of the pupil which lets less light enter the eyes.
