We a proud to introduce India’s first LENSAR laser system. It allows a blade-free cataract surgery procedure with improved precision and accuracy.
The technology allows the surgeon to perform “a 100% bladefree cataract procedure,” and “a treatment that is customized to your eye,” thus potentially improving patient comfort, satisfaction and surgical outcomes.
Further technical details of the procedure is available on our website.
Today was the first camp OT day for patients from the Haridwar eye camp. 31 patients were operated for cataract. There has been no compromise in the technology used. All camp patients have undergone phaco-emulsification with Foldable lens implantation. Another 70 patients will undergo surgery in the next few days.
AEC conducted an eye camp at Haridwar on 18-11-12 where nearly 500 patients were examined. About 100 surgeries will be undertaken in the next few days.
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common form of diabetic eye disease. Diabetic retinopathy usually only affects people who have had diabetes for a long time and can result in blindness.
Diabetes retinopathy is just one type of diabetic eye disease.
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by prolonged high blood glucose levels. Over time, this causes damage to the small blood vessels within the retina. This may cause haemorrhages, exudates and even swelling of the retina.This then starves the retina of oxygen, and abnormal vessels may grow. Good blood glucose control helps to lower diabetes retinopathy risks.
Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy
Typical symptoms of retinopathy include:
Today, we laid down the foundation stone of the new hospital building that is scheduled to come up in the next couple of years. This centre will evolve into a tertiary care ophthalmic setup, completely developed in all sub-specialities, that will cater, annually, to nearly 2,00,000 patients. Over the next decade, AEC will develop into an institution spread across the entire state of Uttarakhand with nearly 30 primary and 3 secondary care centres.
We hope to make a significant contribution in the field of healthcare – to our country which, at present, is home to nearly a fifth of the global number of blinds.
A charitable OPD is held on every Tuesday evening from 4:00 pm onwards. No consultation fee is charged and investigative procedures and any necessary interventions are provided at subsidized rates. Patients may avail the services by prior appointment.
