Refractive Surgery Services:

Laser Vision Correction with Pendular Microkeretome with Schwind Laser MachineLaser vision correction can correct myopia (short sight) upto 10-12 D, Hyperopia (long sight) upto +6.00 D, and astigmatism upto 6.00 D.Vatsal Hospital offers the advanced software system for laser vision correction in which the treatment can be personalized for each eye of the patient. A personalized zyoptix treatment (customized LASIK) corrects the refractive errors to great accuracy and provides best quality of vision. It corrects the required power using lesser amount of corneal tissue, thus can correct more refractive errors in thin corneas. An aspheric Zyoptix has the double advantage of correcting spherical aberration of the eye as well as maintaining natural corneal shape.

Refractive lens Exchange :

In refractive lens exchange surgery the natural crystalline lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial Intra ocular lens (IOL) to achieve sharper focus, rarely it is opted for young people with very high powers. The surgical procedure is almost the same as cataract surgery and is done under local/topical anesthesia.

Instruments Available:

Opticon corneal topographer with Aberrometry.
Keratometer (auto/manual).
Ultra sound Pachymeter.
Pendular Microkeratome with Schwind Laser machine corrects the refractive errors to great accuracy and provides best quality of vision by additionally correcting the optical aberration of the eye.

Glaucoma Services

Glaucoma is a disease of the eye which exhibits a typical optic neuropathy which results in progressive visual field loss. The most important risk factor is raised intraocular pressure. Risk factors for glaucoma include age above 40 years, diabetes, myopia, mature cataract, trauma, certain retinal diseases and a family

At Vatsal hospital eye care, the patient is investigated thoroughly with use a of Perimetry, Pachymetry and Gonioscopy then the treatment is given to the patient to maintain his vision and quality of life.

Oculoplasty Services

Oculoplastic surgery is the cosmetic, corrective, and reconstructive surgery of the eye. It manages and repairs problems primarily related to the tissues or structures surrounding the eye, rather than the eyeball itself. These structures include the eyelids, the tear ducts, and the orbit (bony socket surrounding the eye). At Vatsal Hospital we offer treatment for cong. & Adult Dacryocystities Endoscopic Orbitotomy

Squint and Paediatric Ophthalmology

At Vatsal Hospital we provide treatment for an extensive range of pediatric eye problems such as squint, sight-threatening conditions like pediatric glaucoma, cataract and congenital opacities of the cornea. We also have comprehensive services in the management of squint, double vision and other disorders of eye alignment and movement, both in children and adults the management of amblyopia (lazyeyes),refraction in young children using eye drops (cycloplegic refraction) for those who have difficulty getting a good refraction.

Providing pediatric ophthalmology consultation to doctors in the pediatric departments.
General eye problems such as eye sore, allergic conjunctivitis and lumps on the eyelids (stye and chalazion).
We specialize in Strabismus. Vatsal Hospital after treatment to all complex Strabismus Surgical Conditions like Duanes Retraction Syndrome, Brown Syndrome Paralytic Squints.

UVEITIS

The uvea plays an important role in the normal functioning of the eye. The iris, the ciliary body and the choroid is called the uvea. The iris provides the eye with oxygen and nutrients; it acts as a shutter, controlling the amount of light entering the eye and also contains muscles that help the eye to focus.

Uveitis is the inflammation of any part of the uvea and the symptoms are light sensitivity, blurring of vision, pain, redness of the eye and floaters. Causes of uveitis include infections, Immune-related diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's disease etc, severe injury to the other eye and also due to some unknown causes. At Vatsal Hospital we investigate patients with uveitis in depth and treat according to the cause of the disease.

Test and Investigations include blood tests, mantoux tests and X-rays. The treatment will be aimed at treating the underlying cause of disease, relieving pain and discomfort, preventing the loss of sight from the disease and its complications such as glaucoma, macular edema and scarring of the retina. Steroids are given as eyedrops or sometimes as tablets especially in severe cases to reduce inflammation.With treatment, the disease can be controlled and vision preserved.

Neuro-ophthalmology

It is the branch of Ophthalmology that deals with diseases of the eye in relation to the nervous system. These fall into two main groups:

1. Optic Nerve Diseases:

The optic nerve is the only nerve in the body that can be directly examined by a doctor. It connects the eye to the brain. The optic nerve can be affected by:

Inflammation is normally indicated by the rapid onset of the loss of vision and colour vision associated with pain behind the eyes occurring especially during eye movements. Blood investigations and a MRI, VEP may be necessary to rule out connective tissue disease and multiple sclerosis. Treatment is with systemic steroids.
Ischaemia (a stroke of the optic nerve) manifests with the rapid onset of painless visual loss. It is most commonly related to hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and smoking and treatment is usually directed at controlling them
Compression occurs due to a growth and exhibits slow, progressive, painless visual loss which is usually apparent on CT scan or MRI.
Raised intracranial pressurecan occur as a headache with early morning nausea or vomiting, transient loss of vision, or weakness or loss of balance. A CT Scan or MRI imaging and a lumbar puncture to obtain cerebrospinal fluid is usually necessary for analysis
Trauma

2. Eye Movement Disorders:

These disorders present as double vision, blurred vision or 'Unstable' (shaky) vision and usually occurs due to the following:

Local (orbital) disease causing restriction of movement.
Disease affecting the nerves to the muscles causing weakness.
Diseases affecting the transmission of signals between nerve and muscle.
Diseases of the muscle.
Diseases affecting portions of the brain that control movement.

The vision in each eye (when tested separately) is often normal but abnormal when both eyes are used. The patients will also have giddiness, unsteady gait, headaches or weakness involving other parts of the body. Eye movement disorders that occur suddenly require urgent medical attention to rule out serious conditions such as a rupture of blood vessels supplying the brain. Investigation and treatment is directed at the cause of the eye movement disorder.
