The state-of-the-art facilities include:

– High-end phacoemulsification system which enables phacoemulsification (Micro incision sutureless surgery) under topical anesthesia

– Microscopes which enable excellent visibility and enhance margin of safety.

– Use of high-quality IOLs (manufactured in-house and outsourced from multinational companies) aids to improve postoperative vision and treat refractive conditions like high myopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism.

– Zeiss Visulas YAG III plus laser to treat posterior capsular opacification occurring after cataract surgery

– Latest generation optical biometers to accurately calculate intraocular lens powers in normal eyes and in eyes with pre-existing conditions such as high myopia
