Ophthalmology at Shridha Hospital & Research Institute
Vision is one of the most precious senses, enabling us to perform everyday activities, communicate effectively, and enjoy a better quality of life. Maintaining good eye health requires regular examinations, timely diagnosis, and appropriate treatment of eye disorders before they progress to permanent vision loss. At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, the Department of Ophthalmology is committed to delivering comprehensive, compassionate, and advanced eye care for patients of all age groups. Our experienced ophthalmologists utilize modern diagnostic equipment and evidence-based treatment protocols to diagnose and manage a wide spectrum of eye diseases and vision-related conditions.
From routine eye examinations to advanced microsurgical procedures, our department offers complete ophthalmic services under one roof. Whether patients require vision correction, cataract surgery, treatment for corneal diseases, management of eye injuries, or specialized surgical procedures, our goal is to provide personalized care that protects and restores vision while ensuring the highest standards of patient safety.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, we believe that prevention, early diagnosis, and advanced treatment play a crucial role in preserving lifelong eye health. Our patient-centred approach combines clinical expertise, modern technology, and compassionate care to achieve excellent visual outcomes.
Comprehensive Eye Examination
Regular eye examinations are essential for maintaining healthy vision and detecting eye diseases at an early stage. Many serious eye conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and retinal disorders, may develop without noticeable symptoms during their initial stages. Routine eye check-ups help identify these problems before permanent damage occurs.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, comprehensive eye examinations include detailed evaluation of both visual function and ocular health using advanced diagnostic equipment.
Our eye examination services include:
- Visual acuity testing
- Refraction for spectacles and contact lenses
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Slit lamp examination
- Fundus (retina) examination
- Corneal assessment
- Glaucoma screening
- Diabetic eye evaluation
- Dry eye assessment
- Pediatric eye examination
Early diagnosis through regular eye screening helps prevent vision loss and supports timely treatment for various eye diseases.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract is one of the leading causes of reversible blindness worldwide. It occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred vision, glare, reduced night vision, and difficulty performing daily activities. Modern cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful surgical procedures available today.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, cataract surgery is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques that allow faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and improved visual outcomes.
Our cataract services include:
- Comprehensive cataract evaluation
- Phacoemulsification surgery
- Foldable intraocular lens implantation
- Premium intraocular lens options
- Post-operative vision rehabilitation
- Management of complicated cataracts
Our ophthalmologists carefully assess each patient's lifestyle and visual needs before selecting the most suitable intraocular lens to achieve optimal vision after surgery.
Refractive Procedures
Refractive errors such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia can significantly affect daily activities. Modern refractive procedures offer safe and effective solutions that reduce dependence on spectacles or contact lenses.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, patients undergo detailed preoperative assessment to determine their suitability for refractive correction.
Our refractive services include:
- Comprehensive refractive evaluation
- Laser vision correction assessment
- Management of refractive errors
- Contact lens evaluation
- Customized vision correction planning
- Post-procedure follow-up care
Individualized treatment planning ensures excellent visual outcomes while maintaining long-term eye health.
Corneal Infections
The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye and plays a vital role in focusing light. Corneal infections, also known as infectious keratitis, can rapidly threaten vision if not treated promptly. These infections may result from bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, trauma, or improper contact lens use.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are emphasized to prevent permanent corneal damage.
Common symptoms include:
- Eye pain
- Redness
- Watering
- Blurred vision
- Light sensitivity
- Foreign body sensation
- Eye discharge
Treatment may involve antimicrobial medications, supportive therapy, close monitoring, and surgical intervention in severe cases.
Corneal Transplantation
Corneal transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is performed when the cornea becomes permanently damaged due to infection, injury, hereditary disorders, or degenerative diseases. A healthy donor cornea replaces the diseased tissue, restoring vision and improving quality of life.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, patients undergo comprehensive evaluation before surgery to determine the most appropriate transplantation technique.
Corneal transplantation may be recommended for:
- Corneal scars
- Keratoconus
- Corneal dystrophies
- Failed previous grafts
- Severe corneal infections
- Corneal thinning disorders
Careful postoperative monitoring helps ensure successful graft survival and long-term visual rehabilitation.
Lamellar Surgery
Lamellar keratoplasty is an advanced corneal surgical technique that selectively replaces only the diseased layers of the cornea while preserving healthy tissue. Compared to full-thickness transplantation, lamellar surgery offers several advantages, including faster healing, improved structural integrity, and lower risk of graft rejection.
Our ophthalmology team at Shridha Hospital & Research Institute performs detailed diagnostic evaluation before recommending the most suitable lamellar procedure.
Benefits include:
- Preservation of healthy corneal tissue
- Faster recovery
- Reduced graft rejection risk
- Improved wound strength
- Excellent visual outcomes
Patients receive comprehensive postoperative care to maximize surgical success and long-term vision improvement.
Corneal Tattooing
Corneal tattooing is a specialized ophthalmic procedure performed primarily to improve the cosmetic appearance of eyes affected by corneal scarring, leukoma, or disfiguring ocular conditions. In selected cases, it may also help reduce glare and improve patient comfort.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, patients are thoroughly evaluated before considering corneal tattooing to ensure appropriate treatment selection.
Indications may include:
- Unsightly corneal scars
- Opaque corneal lesions
- Leukoma
- Post-traumatic cosmetic defects
- Selected cases of photophobia
The procedure is planned carefully to achieve natural cosmetic results while maintaining ocular safety.
Corneal Trauma
Eye injuries require immediate medical attention, as delays in treatment can lead to permanent vision loss. Corneal trauma may occur due to workplace accidents, sports injuries, foreign bodies, chemicals, or sharp object injuries.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, our ophthalmologists provide emergency evaluation and prompt treatment for all types of ocular trauma.
Management includes:
- Emergency eye examination
- Foreign body removal
- Corneal abrasion treatment
- Management of penetrating injuries
- Medical therapy
- Surgical repair when necessary
- Long-term visual rehabilitation
Prompt treatment significantly improves the chances of preserving vision following eye injuries.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of conjunctival tissue that extends onto the cornea. It is commonly associated with prolonged exposure to sunlight, dust, and environmental irritants. Although initially harmless, larger pterygia may affect vision, cause irritation, and create cosmetic concerns.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, pterygium surgery is performed using modern techniques aimed at minimizing recurrence while restoring comfort and ocular appearance.
Surgery may be recommended when:
- Vision becomes affected
- Persistent irritation develops
- Cosmetic appearance is compromised
- Progressive corneal involvement occurs
- Contact lens intolerance develops
Careful postoperative follow-up reduces recurrence and promotes healthy healing.
