Conditions Treated

We treat the full spectrum of ocular conditions to enhance the vision of our patients. We are responsible for treating thousands of patients and putting them on the road to recovery.

• Eye Infections: In case of bacterial infections, we provide antibiotic eye drops or ointments to reduce the infection. In viral infections, we provide lubricants to reduce discomfort. We also provide antiviral medications for improvements. We recommend cleanliness, hot/cold compresses, and other home remedies for early recovery.
• Eye Injuries: For mild or severe eye injury, you should always visit the experienced eye specialist at Gleneagles to avoid any future impairment to the eye.
• Eye Pain: These are treated by addressing the underlying cause of the pain. The treatment includes pain relievers, eye drops, or a cold compress.
• Hyperopia and Myopia: Farsightedness and nearsightedness are usually treated with corrective lenses that are provided after a thorough eye evaluation. In hyperopia, convex lenses are used, whereas in myopia, concave lenses are the primary treatment.
• Astigmatism: It is a common type of refractive error where the altered eye shape can make vision blurry. In most cases of astigmatism, it can be treated with corrective lenses.
• Corrective surgery like LASIK or implantable contact lenses (ICL) might be performed for better vision.
• Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): It is a condition where the vision in one or both eyes does not develop properly in childhood. We treat the weaker eye by forcing it to work harder with the help of eye patches, eye drops, and corrective lenses. Treatment of strabismic amblyopia often involves strabismus surgery to align the eyes.
• Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD): It occurs when the vitreous gel that fills your eyeball separates from your retina. It usually does not require treatment and gets better over time. However, in rare cases of retinal tear or detachment, you might need surgery.
• Cataracts: Cataracts are very common among older adults. It is characterised by a cloudy area in the eye lens, leading to a decreased vision of the eye. Cataract is treated with surgery to remove and replace the concerned cloudy lens with an artificial one.
• Glaucoma: It is a group of eye conditions that damages the optic nerve in the back of the eye. The symptoms start slowly, so it is hard to notice them. Depending on the type of glaucoma, you may be recommended prescription eye drops, laser treatment, and surgery.
• Retinal Detachment: It is a serious type of eye condition affecting your vision and can lead to blindness if not treated. Treatment includes surgical intervention to reattach the retina.
• Corneal Disease: It involves changes in the cornea that lead to pain, tearing, and decreased sharpness of vision. The treatment options are eye drops, contact lenses, medications for minor infections, laser surgery, and corneal transplants for severe ones.
• Diabetes-Related Retinopathy: This is caused by high blood sugar due to diabetes. High blood sugar causes damage to the retina, leading to vision impairment. Surgical treatments are necessary for diabetic retinopathy. Medications help reduce swelling.
