When & Where?

Ophthalmic Treatments Overview

  • Phacoemulsification:
    • Over 3,000 procedures using a 2–3 mm incision, ultrasound lens emulsification, and foldable IOLs.
    • Self-sealing wounds, minimal astigmatism, and most patients resume daily activities within a day.
    • Complete visual stabilization over 2–4 weeks; includes antibiotic and anti-inflammatory post-op drops.
  • Small-Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS):
    • Ideal for hard cataracts or limited-resource settings.
    • Preserves visual outcomes while reducing dry eye complications.
  • LASIK:
    • Precision corneal flap created, followed by laser reshaping to eliminate refractive error.
    • Procedure lasts ~10 minutes/eye, with vision improvement within 1–2 days and full recovery in weeks.
    • Suitable for a broad range of prescriptions.
  • SMILE:
    • Flap-less, 2–4 mm incision to remove a corneal lenticule—preserves biomechanics and reduces dry eye.
    • Strong structural integrity (~47% better than LASIK), rapid healing, ideal for athletes and active individuals.
  • Performed in traumatic or complicated cataract surgeries with vitreous prolapse.
  • Removes vitreous from the anterior chamber to prevent traction and protect retinal integrity.
  • Facilitates safe IOL placement and reduces inflammation and detachment risk.
  • Trabeculectomy:
    • Assisted in creating a guarded fistula to lower intraocular pressure.
    • Surgery aims to slow or halt optic nerve damage progression.
  • Medical Management:
    • Used topical medications and patient education for long-term IOP control and follow-up adherence.
  • Excision of pterygium followed by conjunctival autograft secured with fibrin glue.
  • Technique reduces recurrence rate below 10% and enhances cosmetic and ocular surface integrity.
  • Minimal discomfort and rapid return to normal function.
  • Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR):
    • Restores tear drainage by creating a new canal to the nasal cavity.
  • Lid Reconstruction:
    • Corrective surgery for lid defects, ectropion, or entropion to restore form and function.
  • Assisted in correction of horizontal and vertical misalignments via extraocular muscle surgery.
  • Helps restore binocular vision, prevent amblyopia, and improve facial symmetry.
  • Pre-op evaluation includes binocular function testing and sensory assessments.
  • Pars Plana Vitrectomy:
    • Treated vitreous hemorrhage, macular disorders, and tractional pathologies.
  • Retinal Detachment Repair:
    • Includes scleral buckle, pneumatic retinopexy, and vitrectomy-based approaches.
  • Laser Photocoagulation:
    • For diabetic retinopathy and vascular leaks—pan-retinal and focal laser treatments.
