The Eye is a very sensitive and delicate organ composed of many important structures, each working in harmony with the other to produce vision. Power checks and glasses prescribed by Eye Doctors are only part of the Ophthalmology Examination. The function of all these small structures needs to be examined on a periodic basis by qualified ophthalmologists so that any pathology of these which can harm vision can be caught at an early stage. Also, another crucial part of the glass’s power testing is the refraction after dilatation. This is extremely important, especially in children as well as adults with a lot of strain in the eyes.

Once you book an appointment with our Eye Hospital, our coordinator will confirm your appointment’s date, time and the Ophthalmologist. If you choose to walk in without a prior appointment, then you will have to register yourself at the front desk.
Once you are checked in, one of our optometrists who is assigned to you will greet you and begin the preliminary testing. They will also ask for relevant information about your Eye and general health. Once the initial examination is done, your file is wirelessly transferred to our specialists.
Our Specialist will perform a thorough evaluation of your eyes. If required, they may ask for a dilatation, either to relax the strain in the eyes for accurate power testing or for examining your retina or both.
Once the Vision Examination is completed, you will be advised of the most appropriate vision treatment for your condition.
If your pupils are dilated, our Ophthalmologist will call you for a Post Mydiatric Test [PMT] to verify your final glasses prescription on the next day. The PMT test is NOT charged extra. It is an additional step taken by us to ensure that the glasses that we prescribe are extremely accurate.
If your vision specialist has advised any diagnostic scan, you may have to take another appointment at a later date for the same. If a slot for this is available on the same day, our care coordinator will intimate you of the same.

It is always better to bring someone along with you. If our Eye Specialist decides to dilate your pupils, then you will have blurry vision for 6 hours. Driving or seeing bright objects or doing near work will be difficult for the duration of the action of these drops, i.e. 6 hours. However, if it is an emergency, please feel free to drop in alone. Our Ophthalmologist will defer dilating your eyes to another date unless it is mandatory for immediate treatment for your condition. We also recommend you to bring sunglasses to reduce the irritation caused by bright light after the dilatation.

Eat a healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E. You can also try to incorporate leafy greens, fish, nuts, citrus fruits, and carrots into your meals.

Wear sunglasses that block at least 99% of UVA and UVB radiation when you’re outside. You should also wear UV-protective eyewear whenever you’re outside during daylight hours.

Often, blurry vision is a sign of a refractive error, such as long-sightedness, short-sightedness or astigmatism. However, it can also be a symptom of more serious eye conditions or neurological disorders.

Low vision is a permanent visual impairment that you can’t correct with glasses, contacts or surgery. Most eye doctors define low vision as moderate to severe visual impairment — enough to inhibit your everyday activities, like driving and reading.
