Our eye specialists are internationally renowned for advanced eye therapeutics and participation in leading research studies in various areas of ophthalmology.
Amritsar Eye Hospital has a well-equipped operation theatre for performing all types of eye surgeries. Phacoemulsification for cataract and corneal transplantation for various corneal diseases are the main types of surgeries undertaken in Amritsar Eye Hospital.
The basic tests that the patients are likely to encounter during a routine eye examination includes visual acuity testing, refraction (Estimation of power of spectacles of individual), slit lamp examination, tonometry and a dilated fundus examination.
Cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens. When we look at something, light rays travel into our eye through the pupil and are focused through the lens onto the retina, a layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye.
Pediatric ophthalmology is a sub-specialty of ophthalmology concerned with eye diseases, visual development, and vision care in children. It focuses on the development of the visual system and the various diseases that disrupt visual development in children.
The cornea is the eye's outermost layer. It is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Loss of transparency due to any infectious or non- infectious etiology can lead to visual impairment and in my cases necessitate intervention in the form of corneal transplantation.
Glaucoma is a group of ocular disorders with multifactorial etiology united by a clinically characteristic intraocular pressure-associated optic neuropathy. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories, "open-angle" and "closed-angle" (or "angle closure") glaucoma. Glaucoma is a potentially devastating disease and needs to be diagnosed early and treated aggressively to prevent blindness.
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).
The Department of Low Vision is doing very good work in the procurement and dispensing of optical and non-optical visual devices. This service was started more than 7 year back. Seeing the response, this service is extended for all days.
