Welcome to the Ophthalmology Department at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital. Our Ophthalmology Department is dedicated to providing comprehensive eye care services for patients of all ages. We have a team of highly skilled ophthalmologists who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing various eye conditions and diseases.
Ophthalmology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the eyes and visual system. Our Ophthalmology Department offers a wide range of services, including:
- Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Our ophthalmologists perform thorough eye examinations to assess vision and screen for eye diseases and conditions. This includes evaluating visual acuity, determining refractive errors, checking eye pressure, and examining the structures of the eye.
- Cataract Surgery: We specialize in cataract surgery, which involves the removal of a cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial lens implant. Our ophthalmologists utilize advanced techniques, including micro-incision cataract surgery and laser-assisted cataract surgery, to provide precise and effective treatment.
- Refractive Surgery: We offer refractive surgeries, such as LASIK and PRK, to correct common vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our ophthalmologists use state-of-the-art technology to reshape the cornea and improve visual clarity without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Glaucoma Management: We diagnose and manage glaucoma, a group of eye diseases characterized by damage to the optic nerve. Our ophthalmologists develop personalized treatment plans that may include eye drops, laser therapy, or glaucoma surgery to reduce intraocular pressure and preserve vision.
- Retinal Diseases and Surgery: We specialize in the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal detachments. Our ophthalmologists may perform retinal surgeries, including vitrectomy or retinal laser treatments, to address these conditions and restore or preserve vision.
- Pediatric Ophthalmology: We provide specialized eye care for children, including the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric eye conditions, such as strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye). Our ophthalmologists have expertise in performing pediatric eye surgeries and managing childhood eye diseases.
- Corneal Diseases and Transplants: We diagnose and manage corneal diseases, including keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and corneal infections. Our ophthalmologists may perform corneal transplants (keratoplasty) to restore vision in cases where conservative treatments are not sufficient.
- Oculoplastics: We offer oculoplastic services for the management of eyelid disorders, tear duct obstructions, and aesthetic eyelid and facial rejuvenation procedures. Our ophthalmologists work closely with plastic surgeons to provide comprehensive care for these conditions.
Our Ophthalmology Department is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and advanced surgical technology to provide the highest level of care. We work closely with other medical specialties, including optometrists, retina specialists, and neurologists, to offer comprehensive and multidisciplinary care for our patients.
