Other Specialty Services

Other Eye Services

At PNRF we have always strived to provide comprehensive eye care facilities at our hospital. Besides our focus of refractive, cataract and vitreo-retinal services, we provide a host of other services to deal with the limitless eye problems which patients come to us with.

Squint Services

Squints mean a misalignment of the eyes which may be seen at all times, or in certain situations or directions. This misalignment may be encountered in all age groups and may be temporary or permanent. Patients may complain of headaches, double vision or dizziness. Treatment may be in the form of eye muscle exercises, good eye occlusion or corrective surgery depending on the cause and severity.

Lacrimal  Disease Services

Tears are normally secreted from our lacrimal glands, spread over the exposed part of the eye and then drained by a set of fine ducts to drain into the back of the nose. Inflammation, blockage or disease in any part of this lacrimal apparatus can lead to pain, redness, excessive tearing and even collection of pus. Dr Manoj Saxena has many years of experience in medical and surgical management of these conditions, including insertion of lacrimal implants to replace damaged lacrimal duct apparatus.

Paediatric Services

Numerous eye conditions are seen in the paediatric age group such as squints, cataracts, trauma, amblyopia (significant difference in the refractive power in the two eyes) and tumours. Management of these conditions in this age group has its own set of challenges. The doctors at PNRF are fully trained and experienced to deal with the special requirements of children of all ages, including, if necessary, providing safe anaesthesia for examination and surgery.

Miscellaneous Eye problems

Patients come with myriad major and minor problems which may require medical or surgical interventions. Issues may range from conjunctivitis, sties, eye strain to pterygia, foreign bodies, entropion/ extropion and chalazions. All are efficiently dealt with to full satisfaction. As in other parts of the body, unwanted growths and injuries may occur in the eyes. These may be particularly challenging and require wide-ranging and in-depth surgical experience available at PNRF.
