Eye check-up :
- ⮚ Visual Acuity Test : To measure how clearly you can see at different distances.
- ⮚ Refraction Test : Determines the prescription for glasses or contact lenses to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- ⮚ Eye Muscle Test : Assesses the movement of the eyes and checks for any alignment issues.
- ⮚ Pupil Response Test : Checks how your pupils respond to light, which can indicate neurological health.
- ⮚ Eye Pressure Test (Tonometry) : Measures intraocular pressure to screen for glaucoma.
- ⮚ Retinal Examination : Look at the health of the retina and optic nerve, often using dilation drops.
- ⮚ Slit Lamp Examination : Provides a detailed view of the front and back parts of the eye, allowing detection of cataracts, corneal damage, or retinal issues.
Eye Diseases and Treatments :
- ⮚ Cataract Surgery : Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens, typically using techniques like SICS (Small Incision Cataract Surgery) or Phacoemulsification (Phaco), which use small incisions and ultrasound to break up the cataract. Both methods ensure quicker recovery and minimal discomfort.
- ⮚ Glaucoma : Glaucoma is a condition caused by increased pressure in the eye, potentially leading to optic nerve damage, and is managed with medications, laser treatments, or surgeries to lower eye pressure.
- ⮚ Pterygium : A pterygium is a benign growth on the conjunctiva of the eye, often surgically removed when it affects vision or causes discomfort.
- ⮚ Squint (Strabismus) : Squint surgery corrects misalignment of the eyes to improve vision and eye coordination, often performed in children or adults with persistent squints.
- ⮚ DCT (Dacryocystorhinostomy) : DCT is a procedure to clear blockages in the tear duct, restoring normal tear drainage and preventing recurrent eye infections.
Outreach Program :
- ⮚ Free Eye Camps : Regular screening camps in rural and underserved areas to detect vision issues and provide free consultations.
- ⮚ Mobile Eye Units : On-the-spot eye exams and treatments via mobile clinics.
- ⮚ Subsidized Surgeries :Reduced-cost or free cataract and other essential surgeries for economically disadvantaged patients.
- ⮚ NGO Partnerships : Collaborate with local organizations to extend eye care to marginalized communities.
Tele-Ophthalmology :
- ⮚ Remote Care : Teleophthalmology provides eye care services like consultations and screenings remotely.
- ⮚ Efficient Diagnosis : Uses digital imaging and video to diagnose and manage eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts.
- ⮚ Accessibility : Expands access to eye care in rural or underserved areas.
- ⮚ Faster Service : Reduces hospital visits and speeds up diagnosis and treatment.
Social Activities :
- Established 12 Lions Children Health Parks near Lions Eye Hospital, Kodoli.
- Set up Rakshakund at Panchaganga Ghat.
- Donated a Water Purification Plant to Prathamik Vidyamandir, Shiroli.
- Organized social and cultural activities like blood donation camps, tree plantations, and more.
