Red eye, dry eye and cornea
Red eye and conjunctivitis (eye flu), eye infections, dry eye, eye allergy, corneal ulcers, uveitis (inflammation inside the eye), removal of something stuck in the eye, screen strain from computers and phones, and pterygium surgery. Goa's monsoon brings eye flu, and strong sun, wind and dust play a part in dry eye and pterygium. Eye drops for a red eye should only be used on an eye doctor's advice.
LASIK: check-up and referral
A LASIK suitability check-up and counselling: whether your spectacle power is stable, whether your eyes are healthy, and what laser treatment could and could not do for you. The laser itself is not done at ReNew Vision. If you are suitable and decide to go ahead, you are referred to a laser centre, where further tests such as corneal mapping are done.
Retina and diabetic eye
Diabetic eye check-ups, eye checks for high blood pressure, macular degeneration care, and diagnosis of retinal detachment with referral for surgery. Retina laser, eye injections and retina surgery are not done here; when you need them, you are referred, and your check-ups can continue at ReNew Vision. People with diabetes should have an eye check-up at least once a year, even when their sight seems fine.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma screening and follow-up with eye pressure checks, YAG laser iridotomy for narrow drainage angles, and trabeculectomy (glaucoma surgery) when the eye doctor advises it. Glaucoma (kala motia, kachbindu) usually gives no warning until a lot of side vision is lost, which is why eye pressure is checked as part of a complete eye check-up.
Children's eyes and squint
Children's eye check-ups, squint check-ups and squint surgery, patching treatment for lazy eye (amblyopia), eye screening for premature babies (ROP), and myopia control treatment to slow short sight in children. Eye problems in children respond better the earlier they are found, ideally before a child starts school.
Eye emergencies (24 hours)
Emergency eye care 24 hours, every day: eye injuries, chemical splashes, something stuck in the eye, firecracker injuries, sudden loss of vision and very painful red eyes. The Eye OPD for routine visits stays Monday to Saturday, 4 pm to 7 pm.
Watering eye, tear duct, styes and chalazia
Care for a watering eye caused by a blocked tear duct, including DCR surgery (dacryocystorhinostomy), which makes a new drainage path for tears into the nose, and treatment of styes and chalazia (lumps in the eyelid).
Optic nerve and double vision (neuro-ophthalmology)
Examination and care for optic nerve problems, such as optic neuritis, and for double vision and eye-movement problems. Many of these conditions also need a neurologist or brain scans, and the eye doctor will tell you when. New, sudden double vision should be seen urgently.
What is done here, and what is referred?
Everything listed above is done at ReNew Vision. Referred elsewhere: the LASIK laser itself, retina laser, eye injections for retina disease and retina surgery, including surgery for retinal detachment. The eye doctor explains any referral and what happens next.
