Ophthalmology

Treatment and Procedure

Our Ophthalmology Department offers a comprehensive range of treatments and procedures to address various eye conditions. Below is an in-depth look at each of the key ophthalmology treatments and procedures we provide:

1. Cataract Treatment

What is a Cataract?

A cataract develops when proteins in the eye’s lens start to clump together, forming a cloudy area. This blurriness causes vision problems by distorting light passing through the lens. Usually developing gradually with age, cataracts can also be brought on by diabetes, eye injuries, and some drugs.

Symptoms of Cataracts

• Blurred or cloudy vision
• Colors appearing faded or yellowish
• Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
• Double vision in one eye
• Sensitivity to light and glare
• Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription

Procedure at Shalby Hospital

At Shalby Hospital, cataract therapy uses cutting-edge surgical methods to remove the clouded lens and substitute a clean, synthetic intraocular lens (IOL). The most often performed operation is phacoemulsification, a minimally invasive surgery in which the cataract is softly suctioned out after ultrasonic waves rupture it.

Benefits of cataract surgery at Shalby include:

• Quick recovery time
• Minimal discomfort
• Improved vision quality
• Reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses
• No Injections
• No Stitches

2. Pterygium Surgery

Pterygium is a benign growth on the conjunctiva that can encroach onto the cornea, potentially affecting vision. Our best eye specialist surgeons perform pterygium excision, in which the growth is meticulously eliminated. The operation usually includes conjunctival autografting—where tissue from the patient’s eye covers the region to stop recurrence. This approach boasts a decreased recurrence rate and great efficiency.

3. Periocular and Lid Surgeries

These surgeries address conditions affecting the area around the eyes, including the eyelids. Common procedures include:

• Eyelid Reconstruction: For defects due to injury or cancer excision.
• Blepharoplasty: To remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids, improving vision and appearance.
• Ptosis Repair: Corrects drooping eyelids to enhance vision and cosmetic appearance.

4.  Aesthetic Plastic Eye Surgery

Aesthetic plastic eye surgery, or oculofacial surgery, focuses on improving the appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas. Procedures include:

• Blepharoplasty: For aesthetic enhancement by removing excess skin and fat.
• Brow Lift: Elevates the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.
• Orbital Surgery: Corrects deformities or injuries to the eye socket.

5. Oculoplastic

Oculoplasty encompasses a range of surgical procedures that deal with the orbit (eye socket), eyelids, tear ducts, and the face. It includes:

• Orbital Surgery: For conditions like fractures, tumors, and Graves’ disease.
• Lacrimal Surgery: To treat tear duct obstructions.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Following trauma or tumor removal.

6. Neuro-Ophthalmology

Our neuro-ophthalmology services address visual problems related to the nervous system. Conditions treated include:

• Optic Neuritis: Inflammation of the optic nerve.
• Papilledema: Swelling of the optic nerve due to increased intracranial pressure.
• Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: A neuromuscular disorder affecting eye movements.
• Brain Tumors: That affects vision pathways.

Diagnosis often involves a combination of thorough eye exams, imaging studies like MRI and CT scans, and other specialized tests.

7. Glaucoma Surgery

For the best glaucoma treatment, Shalby is the best hospital for glaucoma treatment in India, offering advanced glaucoma surgeries. These procedures are crucial for managing intraocular pressure when medications are insufficient. Types of surgeries include:

• Trabeculectomy: Creates a drainage flap to reduce eye pressure.
• Tube Shunt Surgery: Implants a tiny tube to help drain fluid.
• Laser Surgeries: Such as trabeculoplasty or iridotomy, which use laser energy to enhance fluid outflow or create a new drainage pathway.

Each treatment plan is personalized based on the patient’s specific condition and health needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
