Department of Opthalmology
The Kalingarayan Department of Ophthalmology has state-of-the-art facilities to stay up to date with technological advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of blindness and eye disorders. Senior consultants, consultants, and associate consultants with extensive expertise and exceptional professional competence are all part of the Department. Applanation tonometry, slit-lamp biomicroscopic assessment of the anterior and posterior segments, and refraction and prescription of glasses are examples of outpatient services. Glaucoma, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, and retinal disease of prematurity are all routinely screened for in premature infants.
The hospital's Main Block's advanced eye care facilities are outfitted with the newest technology to diagnose and treat practically any ocular condition. A and B scans, Goldman Perimeter-Carl Zeiss, Fundus fluorescein Angiography, Digital Fundus Camera-Carl Zeiss, Argon Laser, and Frequency Doubled Yag laser devices are a few of them. Cataract procedures involving foldable and rollable intraocular lens implantation are frequently performed in three contemporary theaters.
Our surgeons are skilled in a wide variety of subspecialties, including orbit, oculoplasty, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, glaucoma, squint, cornea, retina, and uvea. The Department's efforts in research, education, and patient care have earned it recognition. Undergraduate and graduate training consists of fundamental and research programs with an emphasis on academic and surgical components. Both medical and paramedical students receive training on a regular basis.

Eye Care / Ophthalmology: Condition & Treatments
Cataract
- Phacoemulsification
- Intra-Ocular Lenses (IOL)
- SICS (Small Incision Cataract Surgery
Diabetic Retinopathy
Laser surgery is used to prevent a bleed in the eye and it also helps in reducing the edema. However, it is not found successful in restoring vision lost due to the retinal damage. To avoid this, laser surgery should be appropriately timed.
- Periocular or Intraocular injection of steroids can also help reduce swelling of the retina (macular oedema).
- Advanced cases with non-resolving bleed in the eye or retinal detachment require advanced microsurgery. Today with highly advanced technology, good visual results can be achieved in a large number of advanced cases also.
Glaucoma
Keratoconus
- Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
- Rose K Contact Lens/Scleral Boston Contact Lens
- C3R (Corneal Collagen Cross Linking wit Riboflavin)
- Cornea Transplant
- Intacs
LASIK Eye Surgery
Phakic Implantable Collamer Lens (IOLs)
Treatment For Ptosis
Retinal Detachment
- Retinal Tears: When a retina shows a tear or hole that has not progressed to detachment, it can be treated to prevent retinal detachment and preserve vision.
- Laser Surgery or Photocoagulation: A laser beam is directed into the eye, which causes burns around the retinal tear. This creates scarring. Consequently, the retina is welded to the underlying tissue.
- Freezing (Cryopexy): First, local anaesthesia is injected to numb the eye. This is followed by applying a freezing probe to the eye's outer surface over the tear. This causes a scar that secures the retina to the eyewall.
Squint (Strabismus)
Uveitis (Eye Inflammation)
