Refractive corneal surgery

• Refractive surgery for various laser refractive procedures such as LASIK, Epi-LASIK, Wavefront guided customized ablation, PRK.
• Customised laser refractive surgery: A strategy to correct not only the refractive error but also the other optical imperfections of the eye, known as aberrations.
• Phakic IOL- Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL/IPCL) is a lens implant that can be used for correction of refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism).
• Phaco-refractive surgery with IOL for the patients not fit for LASIK or ICL.

• Ocular surface reconstruction surgeries that include Sclero-corneal graft for combined scleral and corneal melt.
• Eye trauma management: Eye globe rupture repair, Corneal tear repair with lens implantation, Intra ocular foreign body removal.
• Ocular surface disorder treatment: Treats various disorders such as pterygium, dry eyes, computer vision syndrome and ocular surface squamous neoplasia. Various surgical procedures such as conjunctival limbal autograft, conjunctival autograft, simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET), amniotic membrane transplantation and mucous membrane transplantation are performed.
• Specialised contact lens fitting clinic for irregular cornea, keratoconus and for therapeutic purposes
• Collagen cross linking (C3R, CXL) for keratoconus: We perform Collagen Cross Linking for keratoconus using the world’s best accelerated cross-linking system.
