Automated Refraction: Computer assisted Refraction, Tabletop and Portable.
This gives accurate, fast and reliable spectacle prescription. Portable machine is
useful while doing refraction in children and bedridden patients.
|
|
Slitlamp Biomicroscopy: This is a basic eye examination, conducted in
each and every patient. It is a microscope(as the name suggest), used to see
all the structure of the eye in detail. Specialized procedures like Gonioscopy
& LASER treatment are done with the aid of this machine.
|
|
Applanation Tonometry: Used to measure the Intraoccular pressure, commonly
said as the eye pressure. This is one of the most accurate ways to measure the
eye pressure. A raised eye pressure is an indication of Glaucoma.
|
|
Gonioscopy: Used to study the angle between the Cornea and Iris, in patients
suspected or having Glaucoma. This is the space through which Aqueous Humour
(the watery liquid in front part of the eye) is drained out of the eye. A
specially designed lens, Gonio Lens is used to conduct this test(with the aid
of Slit lamp)
|
|
Perimetry: A computerized instrument used to map the field of vision.
This is a test to measure/calibrate working of optic nerve. This test is used
in managing glaucoma & diagnosis of various neurological conditions.
|
|
Indirect Ophthalmoscopy: An instrument used to study the Retina, in its
full extent. A special lens +20 Diopter lens is used with the indirect. It is
also used for delivering LASER treatment to the Retina.
|
|
Squint Examination: Specially designed instruments and pediatric visual
charts are used to diagnose various types of squint(misalignments of eyes).
Prism bars, Titmus test, Bagolini glasses, Log MAR vision charts are some of
the instruments used to examine patients of squint.
|
|
Contact Lens dispensing: Various kinds of soft, semi soft and hard contact
lens are dispensed. Toric(Cylindrical power), multifocal soft lenses are also
dispensed.
|
|
Ascan Biometry Immersion: A computerized machine used to measure the
power of the lens to be implanted in the eye after removal of cataract.
Immersion mode is one of the most accurate ways of conducting this test.
|
|
Nd: YAG LASER Treatment: A special LASER used for a) Posterior capsulotomy-
creating a opening in the posterior capsule of the lens), b)Peripheral Iridectomy-
making a hole in the iris for easy drainage of aqueous, in Angle closure type
of Glaucoma.
|
|
Diode LASER Treatment: LASER used to treat various abnormalities of
Retina, like Diabetes related retinal affection, treating breaks in the
retina, etc.
|
|
Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery: A specially designed machine
with which is used to remove cataract, through a very small incision (cut) in
the eye. This incision closes without any sutures.
|
|
Small Incision, Manual/ Non-Phaco Cataract Surgery: Cataract surgery
can also be done without using the Phacoemulsification machine. The only
relative disadvantage is that the size of the incision is larger.
|
|
Trabeculectomy: Surgery for glaucoma. A one way valve is made in the
Sclera for drainage of aqueous humor, thereby reducing eye pressure.
|
|
Squint Surgery: By adjusting the length & site of muscle attachment
many of the squints can be corrected. Sometimes more than one operation may
be necessary to achieve the desired result.
|
s
|
Lacrimal Sac Surgery: A block in the Nasolacrimal duct(tube draining
the tears from eye to nose) is surgically bypassed in this operation. This
surgery is done either through Nose(Endonasal) or externally. A special LASER
is used to make a hole in nose and lacrimal sac. Using LASER makes the
procedure virtually painless and bloodless. Also there practically no chance
of re-block.
|
|
Occulopasty Surgery(Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery): Various
disfigurements(Eg. Ptosis/dropy eye lids, Entropion/ Ectropion, etc) of
external structures of eye are corrected by these operations.
|
|
Retinal Surgeries: Retinal detachment, Vitreous hemorrhage(bleeding in
vitreous) is managed by variety of surgical procedures, like scleral buckling,
vitrectomies, etc.
