CATARACT

What is Cataract: Cataract refers to the Clouding of the natural lens of the Eye. Can form at any age but most common is age-related cataract. Diabetes, certain medications, Long standing eye problems, smoking, excessive exposure to sunlight & poor diet have been blamed for the cataractous state. Most effective treatment is operation to remove the cloudy lens. Facilities exist at Drishti for: Phacoemulsification & Micro Phaco with foldable IOL- Monofocal & Multifocal (AMO Sovereign PHACO Machine with White Star & Ice Technology). Small Incision Suture less cataract surgery. Extra Capsular Cataract Surgery and ND YAG Laser Delivery Unit for After Cataract

GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma is: An ocular disease characterized by an unstable or sustained increase of the pressure inside the eye. We have Octopus & Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer with Progression Software. GDX VCC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Analyzer which is specially helpful in diagnosing preperimetric Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defects. For Glaucoma Cases we have Facilities for Laser & Surgical Iridectomy. Trabeculectomy with use of Antimetabolites(MMC). Combined Glaucoma & Cataract Surgery (PhacoTrab). Cyclocryotherapy for Intractable Glaucoma.

PAEDIATRIC-OPHTHALMOLOGY

Pediatric ophthalmology is a sub specialty of ophthalmology dealing with children's eye diseases. The human visual system develops as the brain matures, a process that takes about ten years. Although a baby's eyes are optically capable of seeing, infant vision is limited to around 20/1500, in part because the brain has not learned how to process the visual messages it receives. As visual development proceeds, that same child will eventually be able to detect the finest details in an image.

RETINAL DETACHMENT

This occurs when a part of the retina detaches from the choroid, causing it to lose contact with one of its primary sources of nutrition - resulting in loss of vision
We use Topcon Fluorescein Digital Angiography Unit & Iris Argon-Green Laser Machine for Diagnosis & Treatment of Various Retinal Diseases. Retinal Detachment Surgery and Vitrectomy & VitreoRetinal Surgical facility with AMO Gemini Vitrectomy Machine are an added highlight.

PHACO

Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is a procedure in which an ultrasonic device is used to break up and then remove a cloudy lens, or cataract, from the eye to improve vision. The insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) usually immediately follows phacoemulsification. Phacoemulsification, or phaco.
At Drishti we use to restore vision in patients whose vision has become cloudy from cataracts. In the first stages of a cataract, people may notice only a slight cloudiness as it affects only a small part of the lens, the part of the eye that focuses light on the retina. As the cataract grows, it blocks more light and vision becomes cloudier. As vision worsens, the surgeon will recommend cataract surgery, usually phaco, to restore clear vision. With advancements in cataract surgery such as the IOL patients can sometimes experience dramatic vision improvement.
