At Retina Unit all retinal diseases are evaluated and managed. Digital fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography, ocular ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, retinal cryopexy and laser photocoagulation are done as outpatient procedures:

• Optical coherence tomography is another noninvasive investigation which can be used to study the cross sectional anatomy of the retina. It is useful in the diagnosis, management and follow up of almost all macular diseases.
• Retinal surgery is well equipped with an Accurus vitrectomy machine, facilities for endolaser and cryopexy, and a wide angle surgical viewing system which is one of the latest innovations in retinal surgery.

• Ocular ultrasonography is a noninvasive investigation performed in some cases for which evaluation is required for retinal tumours, vitreous haemorrhage and intraocular foreign bodies.
• Laser photocoagulation is done on a daily basis with the Zeiss Visulas system. It is used in the management of diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration, vascular blocks and many other retinal disorders

• Digital retinal photography is an ideal tool for documentation and follow up and can also give an accurate assessment of the progression of the disease. Fundus fluorescein angiography is performed on a daily basis in order to diagnose and manage all vascular and neurological abnormalities of the retina.

The Glaucoma Clinic provides comprehensive care for glaucoma patients. Every suspected case of glaucoma undergoes diagnostic tests including pacymetry, applanation tonometry, visual field analysis, gonioscopy, optic disc evaluation, and optical coherence tomography. Patients are managed medically and surgically with regular follow-up. An advanced YAG Laser is used for the treatment of narrow angle and other types of glaucoma.

Lasik Services offers a state of the art LASIK facility. LASIK is a procedure that eliminates the need for wearing glasses or contact lenses for clear vision. It does so by precisely reshaping the cornea with the help of laser. Lasik technology is safe and time-tested. At Padiyath Medicity - Hopital Du Cinquantenairety Lasik Service, we take every possible effort to make sure that the procedure is perfectly safe for your eyes.

We are equipped with AMO signature, a higher-end phacoemulsification system which minimizes tissue damage during cataract surgery. Micro Incision Cataract Surgery [MICS] is also available in which the wound size is even smaller. Our department also have Accurus and Storz – Protégé phacoemulsification systems. Intraocular surgery is done with Zeiss OPMI Lumera surgical microscope and the finest titanium surgical instruments. All types of Intra Ocular Lenses [IOL], including foldable IOLs, toric IOLs and multifocal IOLs are routinely inserted with excellent results. Availability of day care surgery (operation without admission) makes it more convenient for the patient.

Squint Clinic

The Squint Clinic provides methodical assessment for diagnosis of various types of squint followed by medical management or surgical treatment.

Ophthalmic Plastics, Orbital and Reconstructive Surgery, deals primarily with diseases involving tissues surrounding the eyeball, but which can also affect the appearance or function of the eye. It includes diseases of the eyelids, the lacrimal system (tear production and drainage), the orbit (the nerves, muscles, blood vessels in the bony cavity surrounding the eye) and the facial areas adjacent to the eye. Our ophthalmic plastic surgeons are board certified ophthalmologists, who have completed specialized training in plastic surgery.

Some of the conditions our specialists treat include:

• Aesthetic surgery of the periorbital area including eyelids, brows and mid-face
• Graves Disease (thyroid eye disease)
• Lid recession surgery (to lower the eyelids)
• Excision of cancers

• Reconstruction of the orbit and the area surrounding the eye after trauma
• Eyelid turning in or out (entropion or ectropion)
• Orbital decompression (to push the eyes back in to the socket)

• Cancer of the tissue surrounding or behind the eye
• Droopy eyelids (ptosis)
• Reconstruction after removal of cancer
• Surgery of the tear drainage system

The neuro-ophthalmology service takes care of patients with loss of vision, double vision, eye movement abnormalities, orbital syndromes, and ophthalmologic problems related but not limited to cerebrovascular diseases, tumor, head trauma, neurodegenerative diseases, infection, and inflammation. In addition to comprehensive clinical assessment of visual acuity, pupil, anterior and posterior segment, eye movement, and eye alignment, we provide state-of-the-art clinical testing of the afferent and efferent functions.

We also carry out clinical and basic sciences research to promote better understanding of the mechanism and treatment of neuro-ophthalmic diseases in order to synergize the advancements between the bench and the bedside. We attract sponsored clinical and basic sciences research and enhance public awareness and education of neuro-ophthalmologic diseases.

Ophthalmic oncology is the specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer affecting the eye, cancer of the orbit (eye socket), and cancer of the eyelids.The Ophthalmic Cancer Center was established to provide the most up-to-date therapy for ophthalmic cancer patients in a caring and supportive atmosphere. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, patients are given immediate access as needed to ancillary testing and consultation with oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, radiation-therapy specialists, geneticists, head and neck surgeons, neurological surgeons and dermatologists in order to ensure the highest standards of medical care.

Diagnosis and treatments

• Benign tumors (like choroidal nevus, choroidal hemangiomas)
• Ocular metastasis from systemic cancers
• Malignant melanoma (iris, ciliary body, choroid, conjunctiva, eyelid, orbit and metastatic melanoma to the eye)

• Pseudotumors
• Retinoblastoma (most common intraocular malignancy in children)
• Conjunctival tumors
• von Hippel Lindau disease, Neurofibromatosis, Sturge Weber syndrome

• Retinal tumors (retinal hemangioblastomas also known as retinal capillary hemangiomas, and other vascular tumors, astrocytic tumors, adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the retinal pigment epithelium, and others)
