FAQ
Frequently Asked Question
REFRACTIVE SURGERY
-
1.What is Refractive Surgery and who can avail it?
-
2. What are the types of Refractive Surgeries?
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) : This involves creating a flap in the cornea and then reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with a laser.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) : This procedure removes the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) before reshaping the underlying tissue with a laser.
- Lens exchange or replacement : This involves replacing the natural lens with an artificial lens (intraocular lens or IOL).
-
3. How long is the surgery and what is the recovery time post surgery?
- The actual surgery usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes for both eyes. The whole visit might last for a couple of hours
- Most people start to see better within 24 hours after LASIK. For PRK, it might take a few days because the outer layer of the cornea needs time to heal.
Frequently Asked Question
CATARACT
-
1.What is cataract and who gets affected?
- A cataract is clouding of the natural lens of the eye causing blurry, hazy, or faded vision. It's a common condition, especially with age, and can make everyday activities like reading or driving difficult. While cataracts can affect people of all ages, they are most prevalent in older adults.
- Aging is the most common cause of cataracts.Other factors include eye injuries, certain medical conditions like diabetes, and long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
-
2. What are the types of cataract surgeries?
- Cataract surgery can be broadly classified into Phacoemulsification, Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (LACS) and Refractive Lens Exchange.
- Phacoemulsification (Micro Incision Cataract Surgery) is the most common type of cataract surgery. It involves using ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens into small fragments, which are then suctioned out.It is minimally invasive with a relatively quick recovery time.
-
3. How safe is the surgery and what is the recovery time post surgery?
- Cataract surgery is very safe and one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide with a high success rate.
- On the day of surgery, patient have a short stay at the hospital for 2-3 hours only after which he/she can go back home.

Frequently Asked Question
RETINAL DISORDERS
-
1.What are the symptoms of retinal diseases?
- Common symptoms include blurred vision, seeing floaters or flashes, a shadow or curtain effect across the field of vision, and changes in central vision. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek prompt medical attention.
-
2. What are the reasons for having retinal diseases?
- Retinal problems, a range of conditions affecting the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, can stem from various causes. These include age-related changes, inherited genetic predispositions, chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure, eye injuries, and inflammatory conditions.
-
3. What are the treatments for retinal diseases?
- During your initial consultation, your retina specialist will review your medical history and conduct a comprehensive eye examination using various diagnostic tools. This may include procedures like fundus fluorescein angiography /photography, OCT, and ultrasonography to assess the health of your retina.
- Depending on the condition, various treatment options include Lasers, injections, and retinal surgeries.
-
4. What is Diabetic Retinopathy and how can it be treated?
- Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that can occur when high blood sugar levels damage blood vessels in the retina.This damage can lead to vision loss or even blindness.It is a serious complication of diabetes and the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults.
- Diabetic Retinopathy usually does not show symptoms in initial stages of the disease, that is why it is important to get your retina screened if you are a diabetic for 2 years or more.
- Diabetic retinopathy treatmentfocuses on managing blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels to slow the progression of the disease along with timely application laser treatment,injections or bothand, in severe cases vitreo-retinal surgery may be needed.
Frequently Asked Question
GLAUCOMA
-
1.What is glaucoma and its common symptoms?
- Glaucoma is an eye disorder characterized by an increase in Intraocular Pressure (IOP), which can lead to irreversible vision loss or blindness if not treated promptly.
- It is important to note that glaucoma can cause irreversible blindness, therefore timely screening and intervention of the disease in needed.
- Symptoms of glaucoma may include a sudden decrease in vision, extreme eye pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and glare. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.
-
2. What are the treatments available for glaucoma?
- Cataract surgery can be broadly classified into Phacoemulsification, Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (LACS) and Refractive Lens Exchange.
- Phacoemulsification (Micro Incision Cataract Surgery) is the most common type of cataract surgery. It involves using ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens into small fragments, which are then suctioned out.It is minimally invasive with a relatively quick recovery time.
