Ocular surface and dry eye clinic
Dry eye and an ocular surface clinic is a special clinic that deals with all types of ocular surface problems such as Dry eye, ocular surface squamous neoplasms, cicatricial conjunctivitis, ocular allergies, chemical injuries, Stevens Johnson syndrome, Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis and Ocular Cicatrical Phemphigoid (OCP). Along with treatment of dry eye with drops, we also perform punctual cautery or punctual plugs. Ocular surface reconstructive procedures such as Amniotic Membrane Grafts (AMG), Mucous Membrane Grafts (MMG), pannus resection is performed at the clinic. For patients with dry eyes and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, we have an option of Scleral Contact Lens.
Keratoconus
It's a common corneal condition that is characterized by the forward bulging of the cornea that is progressive and leads to thinning of the cornea. The condition leads to visual distortion and poor vision due to high astigmatism (cylinder power). After one stage patient can no longer have good vision with glasses and may require contact lenses. At Mumbai Eye Care, Cornea and Lasik Centre we have various contact lens options for Keratoconus patients in the form of RGP lenses, Rose K lenses, Mini Scleral and Scleral lenses. Along with the correction of vision with contact lenses, we also have now treatment in the form of Collagen Crosslinking (UVX/C3R/CXL). This procedure arrests the progress of keratoconus and also helps in marginally decreasing corneal astigmatism. We also offer corrective surgeries such as INTACTS and PRK with CXL to our patients.
Paediatric cornea clinic
Children are not mini-adults. Almost 20% of the blindness in children in India is due to corneal problems. Most common ones are congenital (from birth) corneal opacities, congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, corneal infections, trauma and nutritional deficiency associated corneal problems. If not treated timely using the appropriate surgical procedure, they can lead to amblyopia (lazy eyes) and irreversible vision loss. Mumbai Eye Care, Cornea and Lasik Centre is equipped with general anesthesia services. We offer various surgical options for children with corneal problems such penetrating keratoplasty/ full thickness cornea transplant, partial thickness cornea transplant/ lamellar keratoplasties such as Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty and Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty, rotational autokeratoplasty and keratoprosthesis.
