AK Eye Hospital has a specialised facility for managing Dry Eyes and Ocular Surface Diseases. An effort is made to find the root cause of Dry Eyes by using sophisticated equipments like Ocular Surface Analyser (OSA). OSA enables in identifying the type of dry eye disorder and exactly which layer should be treated first based on the type of deficiency. This alongwith other tests and examination helps specialists to plan the treatment better.
We are also equipped with the latest Lipiflow machine for treating Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD) with Vector Thermal Pulsation. This OPD based 12 minutes procedure gives significant relief to the patients suffering from Dry Eyes due to MGD.
Our dedicated cornea clinic performs penetrating keratoplasty (PK), femto laser assisted corneal transplant, DSAEK and DALK, along with pterygium surgery, conjunctival surgery, amniotic membrane grafts and SLET (simple limbal epithelial transplantation) for chemical injuries. Keratoconus is managed with investigations, specialised contact lenses, C3R (corneal collagen cross-linking) and corneal surgery. For tertiary cornea care, the hospital is supported by visiting experts from Lucknow and AIIMS Delhi.
Consult a cornea specialist if you have persistent eye redness or pain, sensitivity to light, blurred or distorted vision, ongoing discomfort with contact lenses, or astigmatism that keeps increasing (a possible sign of keratoconus). Any chemical splash in the eye is an emergency – rinse the eye with plenty of clean water and seek care immediately.
Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea gradually thins and bulges into a cone shape, causing blurred and distorted vision. Depending on its stage, it can be managed with specialised contact lenses, C3R (corneal collagen cross-linking) to help slow its progression, or corneal surgery in advanced cases.
Lipiflow uses vector thermal pulsation to treat meibomian gland dysfunction, a common cause of dry eyes. At AK Eye Hospital it is an OPD procedure of about 12 minutes.
A corneal transplant may be advised when the cornea is scarred, clouded or damaged so that vision cannot be improved with glasses, contact lenses or medicines. Your cornea specialist will recommend the most suitable type, such as PK, DSAEK or DALK.
