Corneal Pachymetry
Corneal pachymetry is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the thickness of the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. This measurement is important in assessing various eye conditions, especially glaucoma and before refractive surgery like LASIK. It helps in determining the health of the cornea and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of surgical procedures.
Pachymeter
A pachymeter is a medical device used by the doctor to do a test called pachymetry. It is a simple, quick, painless test to measure the thickness of your cornea. With this measurement, your doctor can better understand your IOP reading, and develop a treatment plan that is right for your condition. The procedure takes only about few minutes to measure both eyes.

OCT
OCT is a non-invasive imaging tool in ophthalmology, using light waves to create high-resolution cross-sectional images of eye structures like the retina and optic nerve. It’s crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, enabling early detection and monitoring of disease progression.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging method used to generate a picture of the back of the eye, called the retina. OCT uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina. The OCT is an excellent way to visualize the different layers of the retina and optic nerve in the eye. OCT is routinely used during check-up of patients with glaucoma.

Keratometer
Keratometer
A Keratometer, also known as an ophthalmometer, is a diagnostic instrument for measuring the curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea, which is used to assess the amount and axis of astigmatism. Keratometry is the measurement of the corneal curvature determining the power of the cornea.

Specular Microscope
Specular MicroscopeEye care doctors use specular microscopy to study a patient’s corneal endothelium. The non-invasive technique is used to evaluate the health of the corneal endothelium or inspect any damage that may have been caused to it by disease, surgery or injury. This is one of the important tests done by the doctors to check the condition of the cornea.

Slit Lamp Examination
A slit-lamp exam, conducted with a specialized microscope, magnifies and scrutinizes eye structures like the cornea, iris, lens, and retina. This thorough examination aids in diagnosing various eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal injuries, enabling precise treatment and management
Slit Lamp Examination
The binocular slit-lamp examination provides a stereoscopic magnified view of the eye structures in detail, enabling anatomical diagnoses to be made for a variety of eye conditions. A second, hand-held lens is used to examine the retina. A slit-lamp exam is usually done during a regular checkup with your eye doctor before the cataract surgery procedure.

Fluorescein Staining
Fluorescein staining is an eye test where a special dye is applied to the eye’s surface to reveal any damage or irregularities in the cornea under a blue light. It’s a quick and effective way for eye care professionals to diagnose conditions like dry eye, corneal abrasions, and infections, allowing for prompt treatment.
Close
Corneal Scraping
Corneal scraping is a medical procedure where a small sample of cells and fluids is collected from the surface of the cornea using a sterile instrument. This sample is then examined under a microscope to diagnose various eye conditions such as infections, ulcers, or other abnormalities. It’s a crucial diagnostic tool in ophthalmology, helping doctors determine the cause of corneal diseases and guide appropriate treatment.

Surgical Procedures :
Pterygium Surgery with AMG
Pterygium surgery with AMG is a minimally invasive procedure that offers long-term relief from symptoms such as redness, irritation, and blurred vision associated with pterygium. By utilizing the amniotic membrane graft, this surgery not only promotes faster healing but also reduces inflammation and scarring, enhancing the overall outcome for patients.

Keratoplasty Surgery
Keratoplasty surgery, also known as corneal transplantation, replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with a carefully matched donor cornea. This procedure effectively treats conditions like corneal scarring, keratoconus, and corneal dystrophies, restoring vision and improving overall eye health.
