Cataract Care Services
Cataract is the term used to describe a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. A clouded lens can be compared to a window that is frosted or "fogged" with steam. When the lens becomes cloudy, the light reaching the retina is blurred and distorted, and your vision is affected. This clouded lens is called a cataract, and it must be removed before vision can be restored. This can be only treated with a surgical procedure. There are advanced, painless surgical techniques that are practiced in cataract surgery and Phaco emulsification cataract surgery is one among the advance technology in this section. MICS(Micro Incision cataract surgery) is the advanced surgical practices followed in our hospital. We provide all classes of IOL based on the clinical need of the patient and affordability to lead a comfortable life after surgery. The surgeries are painless procedure with topical/local anesthesia.
Glaucoma
The goal of any treatment is to prevent loss of vision, as vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible. The good news is that glaucoma can be managed if detected early, and that with medical and/or surgical treatment, most people with glaucoma will not lose their sight. At Drishyam Eye Care hospital the patient is investigated thoroughly with the use of Perimetry, Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) and then the treatment is personalized to the patient to maintain his vision and quality of life.
Retina Care
Retinal disorders often represent the most serious and challenging eye problems to diagnose and manage. At Drishyam Eye Care Hospital, we are committed to offer our patients the most sophisticated and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and the most current eye surgery and care treatments. Our retina specialists and staff provide a highly-specialized eye care in a personal and individualized manner.

Paediatric Ophthalmology
The Paediatric Ophthalmology Department at Drishyam Eye Care Hospital deals with eye problems in children. Paediatric ophthalmology is unique amongst the sub-specialties of ophthalmology. Its boundaries are defined primarily by the age of the patient rather than by groups of clinical conditions that it treats. At Drishyam we provide treatment for an extensive range of paediatric eye problems such as sight-threatening conditions like paediatric glaucoma, cataract and congenital opacities of the cornea.
Neuro Ophthalmology
This clinic deals with the visual manifestations of systemic & neurological disorders. Clinical neuro-ophthalmological examinations can provide important clues to the underlying diagnosis which can be life saving in cases of intra cranial tumours. It is equipped with Humphery visual field analyzer, colour vision testing.
Refractive Error Clinic
A refractive error means that the light is not bending properly when it passes through the cornea and retina of your eye. The refraction test will tell your doctor what prescription you should use in order to have 20/20 vision. Refractive errors are optical imperfections that prevent the eye from properly focusing light, causing blurred vision. The primary refractive errors are nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Refractive errors can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery. Eyeglasses are the simplest and safest way to correct refractive errors. Refractive eye surgery is any eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
ICL Clinic
Intraocular lenses (IOL) are lens implanted in the eye used to treat cataracts or myopia. The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. The pseudophakic IOL replaces the original crystalline lens and provides the light focusing function originally undertaken by the crystalline lens. The second type of IOL, more commonly known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), is a lens which is placed over the existing natural lens and is used in refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power as a treatment for myopia or nearsightedness.
Orbit & Oculoplasty
The Department of Orbit is the management of diseases and abnormalities of the orbit, eyelids and the lacrimal system. Ptosis (Drooping of the upper eyelid) is one of the major eye disease dealt under this unit. If the lid droop is very severe especially in young children, it can even lead to lazy eye (amblyopia). The eye condition needs to address in time to ensure the cosmetic aspect of the person is taken care. Oculoplasty unit deals with plastic surgery around the eye.
