Eye care
What brings you in?
Choose what you have noticed. You will see what the visit involves and which tests may be added.
Cataract
Cataract assessment and surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens. Surgery is done in-house by phacoemulsification, with monofocal, toric, extended-depth and multifocal lens options. Which lens suits you depends on your eye and how you use your vision.
- At the visit
- Vision and power check, eye pressure, dilated examination by the surgeon.
- Tests that may be added
- Optical biometry to calculate lens power, and image-guided planning.
Vision correction
LASIK, SMILE Pro and ICL
The first step is a suitability assessment. Corneal shape and thickness are mapped, and the surgeon explains which procedure, if any, fits your eyes. Not every eye is suitable, and results vary from person to person.
- At the visit
- Power check, dilated examination, and a discussion of what you want from your vision.
- Tests that may be added
- Corneal topography and tomography.
Dry eye clinic
Dry eye assessment and treatment
Dry eye that drops do not relieve often comes from blocked oil glands in the eyelids. The clinic examines your tear film and eyelid glands, starts with home care, and offers in-clinic light-based and radiofrequency treatment where it suits your eyes and skin.
- At the visit
- History, tear film and eyelid gland examination at the slit lamp.
- Treatment that may follow
- Warm compresses and lid hygiene first. In-clinic sessions if they are suitable for you.
Diabetic eye and retina
Diabetic eye screening and retina care
Diabetes can affect the retina before you notice any change in vision. A dilated retina check is the standard way to look for it. Diabetic retinopathy and macular conditions are managed in-house, including intravitreal injections when they are needed.
- At the visit
- Dilated retina examination. Bring your recent sugar reports and medicine list.
- Tests that may be added
- OCT, OCT angiography and ultra-widefield retinal imaging.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma testing and long-term care
Glaucoma usually has no symptoms in its early stages. Care rests on three measurements, repeated and compared from visit to visit: eye pressure, the optic nerve, and the field of vision.
- At the visit
- Eye pressure, examination of the optic nerve, and a review of earlier records.
- Tests that may be added
- Optic nerve OCT and an automated visual field test.
Myopia clinic
Myopia control for children
When a child's power rises every year, the eye itself is usually growing longer. The myopia clinic measures that growth and discusses the options for slowing it, alongside ordinary glasses.
- At the visit
- Power check with dilating drops, and a talk about screen time, outdoor time and family history.
- Tests that may be added
- Optical biometry to measure the length of the eye, repeated over time.

Dry eye clinic
When drops are not enough.
Your tears are covered by a thin layer of oil, made by small glands along each eyelid. When those glands block, tears evaporate within seconds of a blink, and the eye burns, feels gritty and waters. Drops moisten the surface. They do not open a blocked gland.
Results vary from person to person. Light-based treatment does not suit every skin tone, and suitability is decided only after an examination.
- 01
Assessment
The surgeon examines your tear film and the oil glands of your eyelids at the slit lamp, and asks about screens, air conditioning, contact lenses and medicines.
- 02
Home care first
Warm compresses and lid hygiene are the foundation of care for blocked glands. You are shown how to do them properly.
- 03
In-clinic treatment, where suitable
Intense pulsed light (IPL) and radiofrequency eyelid warming are available in-house. They are given as a course of sessions, and your eyes are reviewed along the way.
Your first visit
Seven steps,
around an hour.
Most of the hour is waiting for dilating drops to work. Scans, if they are needed, add to this.
- 01
Registration
At the front desk. Bring earlier reports and your current glasses.
- 02
Vision and power
An optometrist tests your vision and measures your spectacle power.
- 03
Eye pressure
Measured by air puff. Nothing touches the eye.
- 04
Dilating drops
If the retina needs to be examined, drops widen the pupils. They take 20 to 30 minutes.
- 05
Consultation
Dr. H. Siva Mohan Reddy examines the front and back of your eyes and explains what he finds.
- 06
Scans, if needed
Added only if the examination calls for it. The reason is explained first.
- 07
Written advice
You leave with a prescription or written advice, and the date of your next check if one is needed.
What to bring
Current glasses, earlier eye reports, a list of your medicines, your insurance card if you have one, and sunglasses.
Come with someone
After dilating drops, near vision is blurred and lights seem bright for a few hours. Do not drive yourself home.
Access
Parking on site. Wheelchair-accessible entry and movement inside the hospital.
Diagnostics
Tests done in the building.
These tests are read by the surgeon alongside your history. None of them involves a needle. A test is added only when your examination calls for it.
- OCT
- Cross-section scan of the retina and optic nerve. Measures retinal thickness and the nerve fibre layer. Used for macular swelling and glaucoma.
- OCT angiography
- Maps blood flow in the small vessels of the retina without a dye injection.
- Ultra-widefield retinal imaging
- A wide-angle photograph of the retina in one capture, including the outer retina. Kept as a record to compare over time.
- Automated visual field test
- Maps side vision point by point. Shows whether glaucoma has affected the field, and whether that is changing.
- Optical biometry
- Measures the length of the eye and the curve of the cornea. Used to calculate lens power for cataract surgery and to track eye growth in children.
- Corneal topography and tomography
- Maps the shape and thickness of the cornea. Used to detect keratoconus and to assess suitability for laser correction.
- Air-puff tonometry
- Measures eye pressure without touching the eye.
- Auto-refraction and keratometry
- A computerised starting measurement of spectacle power and corneal curve, refined by the optometrist.
- Slit lamp examination
- A microscope view of the lids, cornea, lens and, with a hand lens, the retina.
- Image-guided cataract planning
- Captures a reference image of the eye, used to plan the incision and lens alignment.
Before you decide on surgery
What you are told before you consent.
These six points are covered with every patient for whom a procedure is advised.
A decision is never needed on the first visit.
What the examination shows
Your findings and measurements, in plain language, with the scans in front of you.
Your options
Every reasonable option for your eye, including waiting. If waiting is reasonable, you are told so.
Risks and limits
The risks that apply to your eye, and what the procedure cannot do. Results vary from person to person.
Recovery and time
How long it takes, what the first days are like, and when the review visits fall.
A written estimate
Given after your eyes are examined, with the part your insurance is expected to meet.
Time to think
Take the information home or ask for a second opinion. Nothing is scheduled without your signed consent.

The hospital opens in Himayat Nagar
He founded this hospital on Himayat Nagar Road. It has stayed at the same address ever since.
Padma Bhushan
He helped start one of India's earliest eye banks and took treatment to villages through rural eye camps. The Padma Bhushan followed in 1977.
The third generation
The hospital is run today by the third generation of his family, at the same address, with its diagnostics, operation theatre and optical store in the building.
