Diagnostic specialities offered at The Himalayan Eye Institute Darjeeling :
Cornea: An invasive surgery known as a cornea transplant replaces the damaged portion of the cornea with healthy donor corneal tissue. It can improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea, restore vision, and lessen discomfort. At The Himalayan Eye Institute, advanced medical technology is available to address corneal problems.
Glaucoma: A series of eye illnesses known as glaucoma cause irreversible loss of the visual field when the optic nerve is harmed. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is what causes optic nerve injury, while it can also happen with low IOP and even with normal IOP (Normal Tension Glaucoma) (Low Tension Glaucoma). The imbalance between the production and drainage of aqueous in the anterior chamber of the eye is what leads to the increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Medical Experts at The Himalayan Eye Institute understand intricacies of such procedures and can provide the best-in-class treatment for all eye related problems.
Diabetic Retinopathy: One of the main causes of blindness in the globe is diabetic retinopathy. It has an impact on the retina's blood vessels, the eye's innermost layer, which further damages the retina and impairs eyesight. This disorder is brought on by the light-sensitive layer at the rear of the eye. At The Himalayan Eye Institute, best care is taken with the help of the best equipment to help people with conditions that are simple or grave.
Retinal Detachment: When the retina separates from its main supporting tissue, it can become detached, which is a dangerous and sight-threatening condition. When these layers are separated, the retina is unable to function. Furthermore, if the retina is not quickly reattached, visual loss may become irreversible. Surgery to reposition the retina in the proper position is required for all individuals with retinal detachments. Otherwise, the retina can stop working, which would leave a person permanently blind. The way a retinal detachment is repaired relies on its specific qualities. According to the requirements of a specific situation, the retina specialists at The Himalayan Eye Institute may choose a sutureless vitrectomy or scleral buckling.
Squint: When you squint, one or both of your eyes may turn upward (hypertropia), downward (hypertropia), inward (esotropia), or outward (exotropia) (hypotropia). Squinting can be continuous or sporadic. Although the exact reasons for squinting are unknown, it is known that one or both eyes may have vision problems or that there is an anomaly in the muscles. The Himalayan Eye Institute's cutting-edge technology offers quicker diagnoses and better results for your visual health.
Amblyopia: A neuro-developmental vision issue known as amblyopia (also known as lazy eyes) first manifests in infancy and early childhood. Even when best corrected with glasses or contacts, those with amblyopia often have impaired vision in one eye. Amblyopia, if untreated, can cause a youngster to squint, damage their self-esteem, career, school, sports, and friendships, and even cause despair. With today's most cutting-edge amblyopia (lazy eyes) management choices, you can restore your eyesight and your quality of life. ASG also provides non-surgical amblyopia treatment.
Contoura Lasik: TopoGuided LASIK by Contoura Vision is a novel innovation made to improve the results of LASIK. It corrects vision based on corneal topography (corneal curvature maps), as opposed to normal LASIK surgery, which exclusively bases vision correction on the prescription for glasses or contact lenses. With Contoura Vision TopoGuided LASIK, a copolymer is used as an additional diagnostic tool to measure 22,000 spots on the cornea and identify abnormalities in the cornea's curvature and optics. After combining these topography measures with the patient's prescription for glasses, a unique treatment profile is developed and programmed into the cutting-edge laser.
ICL: Patients can receive individualized care at The Himalayan Eye Institute by employing lenses. A brand-new implantable contact lens called an ICL, which stands for Implantable Collamer Lens, may be placed into the eye without removing the normal lens. For people who are astigmatic, short-sighted (myopia), or long-sighted (hyperopia), this lens is a great option. A substance called Collamer, a collagen co-polymer with a little quantity of pure collagen, is used to make this lens. The lens is extremely safe, soft, flexible, and moist because of its stability and biocompatibility....
