What we treat?

• Cataract

  A cataract appears when natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy and hard. It causes blurred vision as if you are looking through a frosty or a cloudy window. Medanta is equipped with state of the art Cataract Suite which delivers the best available cataract surgical care in the world - Femto Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) with premium intra-ocular lenses. Medanta is the first institution in Asia to incorporate this technology to provide the most superior care in cataract.

• Cornea Conditions and Refractive Errors

  Refractive surgery care at Medanta uses cutting edge technology – CONTOURA VISION LASIK– which provides precise and accurate laser removal of glasses. This LASIK technology is USA FDA approved, causes minimum corneal tissue loss, and is among the best in the world. At the same time, the cornea team at Medanta performs complex corneal surgeries including corneal transplants.

• Retinal Disorders

  Retina is like the film of the camera where the image is formed & gets transmitted to the brain for processing. A damaged retina, like with aging (like Age related macular degeneration or ARMD) can lead to significant visual disturbances many of which may become permanent if not treated on time. Diabetes is a growing health problem, and it affects the retina causing Diabetic Retinopathy which is one of the leading causes of blindness. Often in some eyes, there may be bleeding inside the eye called vitreous hemorrhage, or the retina may be displaced from its position called retinal detachment.

• Uveitis

  When the middle layer of the eye, medically known as uvea, becomes inflated, it is called uveitis. Redness, eye pain, blurred vision and sensitivity to light are some common symptoms of uveitis.

• Squint

  Squint is the condition of the eye in which the control over the muscles of the eyes is lost and the patient is not able to look in the same direction through both eyes. It is also known as crossed or turned eye.

• Paediatric eye conditions

  The eyes of children are different from adults and require specialized treatment. At Medanta we have dedicated child friendly facility which is managed by experts with specialized training in this field. The important diseases handled by our experts are retinopathy of prematurity, pediatric cataract, pediatric glaucoma and congenital ocular disorders.

• Eye tumour and cancers

  Medanta is one of the handful of institutions in Asia to provide a comprehensive ocular oncology service. The clinic is run under the expert guidance of surgeons who have significant experience in managing cases of tumours of various parts of the eye including retinal tumours, melanomas of the uvea, retinoblastoma, tumours of the eyelids, ocular surface (OSSN) and orbital tumours.

• Glaucoma

  A glaucoma is a group of diseases that result in damage of the nerves which might result in irreversible vision loss. Glaucoma has been called the "silent thief of sight" because it manifests as a painless gradual loss of vision over a long period, and symptoms only occur when the disease is quite advanced.
