Diabetic Retinopathy refers to an eye condition of abnormal development in the retina due to diabetes. In a Diabetic patient, due to an uncontrolled high blood sugar level, there is damage to the blood vessels in the retina. The retina is the layer situated at the back of the eye, which transmits images to the brain via the optic nerves. Since the retina is affected, it is known as Diabetic Retinopathy. If left untreated, diabetes retinopathy, can lead to a complete loss of vision. Sarvottam Hospital offers advanced treatment for this eye disease.

Glaucoma is a general term used to describe damage to the optic nerve generally caused by high eye pressure. Whenever we look at an object, the image of that object falls on the retina (neurosensory layer of the eye). The retina transmits it to the brain via the optic nerve. The optic nerve is like a cable having more than a million fibres that send messages about what we see from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve fibres (wires in the cable). If the entire nerves get destroyed, it can cause total permanent blindness within a few years. Yet, with timely diagnosis and proper treatment, one can prevent further damage and blindness. We at Sarvottam hospital having best in class treatment for Glaucoma.

The presence of a lens within the eye enables us to effectively focus incoming light onto the retina, resulting in the formation of clear and precise visual impressions. However, as time passes and due to various factors, such as the natural aging process, the lens may become encased in insoluble proteins, causing vision to become clouded and blurry. This particular visual impairment is commonly referred to as a cataract. Cataracts typically develop gradually over an extended period, although there are instances where they progress rapidly. While cataracts are typically associated with older individuals, it is also possible for younger people to develop them, particularly if they have a family history of the condition. Cataracts represent a progressive ailment, often difficult for patients to detect in its early stages. It is important to note that neither dietary changes, medication, eye drops, nor exercise can effectively slow down or prevent the advancement of cataracts. Therefore, regular eye examinations and prompt identification of the condition are crucial in ensuring timely treatment and the preservation of vision. The only treatment for a cataract is surgery. It is a misconception that cataracts cannot be operated upon unless ripe or mature. The less mature a cataract, the easier the surgery and faster the recovery. Today, with the advanced technology of LASER Phacoemulsification, one need not wait for cataracts to mature. A cataract can be removed at any stage as soon as it begins to interfere in routine life.
