Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery utilizes advanced techniques to restore clear vision, with personalized pre- and post-operative care. Patients receive tailored treatment plans based on medical history and severity, ensuring optimal outcomes. The procedure addresses clouded lenses through minimally invasive methods, improving quality of life for individuals across all age groups.
Glaucoma Management
Specialized glaucoma management focuses on early detection and sustained intraocular pressure control. We employ cutting-edge diagnostic tools and customized treatment regimens, including medication, laser therapy, or surgical interventions. Our approach emphasizes long-term vision preservation through regular monitoring and patient education on disease progression.

Laser-assisted refractive surgery corrects vision impairments such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. We offer customized LASIK and SMILE procedures using precision technology for reduced dependency on glasses or contacts.

Points to note:
1. Regular eye check up appointments provided for a particular time is a place holder and it doesnt guarantee that your eye testing will start at that time. Irrespective of your appointment time, the priority is given based on first come first basis. This is true for all the branches in Chennai.
2. If you have a morning appointment there is no guarantee that you will leave by noon. My experience was good until the Doctors consultation (Dr. S. Meenakshi) which got delayed and spoiled the overall experience. The most common issue seems to be Doctors availability. They failed

Securities, Staffs, Doctors and even Lift Operators are so kind. Well planned structure followed to handle crowd. Note for those who go for the first time:
1. Fees - Rs. 850/-.
2. Reach Hospital at least prior to 7am.
3. Only one Attender allowed inside the building along with Patient.
