About The Department

The department of Ophthalmology deals with eye related illness. We at the ophthalmology dept of SMMCH&RI, are well equipped in terms of human resource as well as infrastructure to deal with common as well as unique ophthalmic problems. We regularly diagnose and treat refractive errors, foreign bodies, conjunctivitis, cataract, uveal and retinal disorders (eg diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration), neuro ophthalmological disorders, squint, pediatric disorders and lid and orbital diseases and ocular trauma. All state of the art investigative modalities are available and done at a very reasonable cost. Laser procedures for retina, glaucoma, cornea and cataract are performed on a daily basis by the experts in the respective fields. Surgeries for cataract (phacoemulsification and conventional), glaucoma (trabeculectomy), corneal transplant (full thickness as well as partial thickness), minor and major lid disorders, squint and retinal disorders (dislocated lenses etc) are done at very competitive prices. Outreach eye camps are conducted frequently to provide free treatment for common eye disorders. Our department is equipped with an exclusive eye bank for easy tissue availability for corneal surgeries.
