Along with treatment of dry eye with drops, we also perform punctual cautery or punctual plugs.

Keratoconus
It's a common corneal condition that is characterized by the forward bulging of the cornea that is progressive and leads to thinning of the cornea. The condition leads to visual distortion and poor vision due to high astigmatism (cylinder power). After one stage patient can no longer have good vision with glasses and may require contact lenses. At Mumbai Eye Care, Cornea and Lasik Centre we have various contact lens options for Keratoconus patients in the form of RGP lenses, Rose K lenses, Mini Scleral and Scleral lenses. Along with the correction of vision with contact lenses, we also have now treatment in the form of Collagen Crosslinking (UVX/C3R/CXL). This procedure arrests the progress of keratoconus and also helps in marginally decreasing corneal astigmatism. We also offer corrective surgeries such as INTACTS and PRK with CXL to our patients, Dry Eye Treatment In Ghatkopar.
Pediatric cornea clinic
Children are not mini-adults. Almost 20% of the blindness in children in India is due to corneal problems. Most common ones are congenital (from birth) corneal opacities, congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, corneal infections, trauma and nutritional deficiency associated corneal problems. If not treated timely using the appropriate surgical procedure, they can lead to amblyopia (lazy eyes) and irreversible vision loss. Mumbai Eye Care, Cornea and Lasik Centre is equipped with general anesthesia services, Dry Eye Treatment In Ghatkopar. We offer various surgical options for children with corneal problems such penetrating keratoplasty/ full thickness cornea transplant, partial thickness cornea transplant/ lamellar keratoplasties such as Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty and Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty, rotational autokeratoplasty and keratoprosthesis.

We treat surgically small ocular surface nevi/ moles, remove the pannus or scars following chemical/ thermal burns, and remove the unsightly pterygium. The unique feature of our pterygium clinic is that the surgery is that we do not use any sutures after the surgery for the application of the conjunctival/ amniotic membrane. We use the latest technique of performing surgery with fibrin glue.
