About Ophthalmology in Panihati
Ophthalmologists are eye doctors who diagnose and treat eye disease medically and surgically — including cataract, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, refractive errors (spectacle power) and pterygium. Many ophthalmology procedures are short, planned interventions affecting the eyes and eyelids. All 10 ophthalmology treatments on Go Surgery usually let you go home the same day or the next.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations and is usually a short day-care procedure. Laser vision correction (LASIK, SMILE) and implantable lenses can reduce dependence on glasses for suitable candidates after a detailed eye assessment.
Conditions
These are common reasons patients in Panihati seek a ophthalmology consultation.
Cataract
A cataract is clouding of the eye's natural lens, causing gradually blurred or dim vision. It is treated with a short operation to replace the lens.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually linked to raised eye pressure. Early glaucoma often has no symptoms.
Refractive Error
Refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism mean the eye doesn't focus light correctly, and are usually corrected with glasses or contact lenses — or with laser or lens surgery in suitable adults.
Pterygium
A pterygium is a fleshy growth on the white of the eye that can extend onto the cornea.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels of the retina caused by diabetes. It can lead to vision loss if untreated.
Squint (Strabismus)
A squint is misalignment of the eyes, where one eye turns in, out, up or down.
Treatments
Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification)
The cloudy lens is broken up with ultrasound through a tiny incision and replaced with a clear artificial lens (IOL). Stitches are usually not needed.
Glaucoma Surgery
A new drainage pathway is created (trabeculectomy) or a drainage device inserted to lower eye pressure when drops or laser are not enough.
LASIK
A laser reshapes the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, reducing or removing the need for glasses.
SMILE Laser Vision Correction
A femtosecond laser creates a thin lens-shaped piece of tissue inside the cornea which is removed through a small incision, correcting myopia without a flap.
ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
A thin lens is implanted inside the eye in front of the natural lens to correct high spectacle powers, especially where laser surgery isn't suitable.
Pterygium Surgery
The pterygium is removed and the area covered with a small graft of conjunctiva from the same eye to reduce recurrence.
Retina Laser (Photocoagulation)
Laser burns are applied to the retina to seal leaking vessels or reduce abnormal vessel growth in diabetic retinopathy and other retinal conditions.
Vitrectomy
The vitreous gel inside the eye is removed to treat bleeding, retinal detachment or scar tissue, often with laser and gas or oil tamponade.
Squint Surgery
The eye muscles are repositioned or adjusted to straighten the eyes.
Ptosis Surgery
The muscle that lifts the upper eyelid is tightened or reattached to correct a droopy eyelid.
LASIK vs SMILE: Ophthalmology
| Features | LASIK | SMILE |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | A thin corneal flap is lifted before the laser | The laser works through a small keyhole cut, with no flap |
| Anaesthesia | Numbing eye drops | Numbing eye drops |
| Operating time | About 15–20 minutes for both eyes | About 15–20 minutes |
| Hospital stay | No stay — day care | No stay — day care |
| Recovery | Clear vision often within a day; avoid rubbing eyes and swimming for a few weeks. | Vision improves over days. |

FAQs
When should cataract be operated on?
When blurred or glary vision starts interfering with reading, driving or daily activities. There is no need to wait for a cataract to become 'ripe'.
Who is suitable for LASIK?
Adults with a stable glasses prescription for at least a year, healthy corneas of adequate thickness and no active eye disease. A pre-LASIK evaluation decides suitability.
Can glaucoma damage be reversed?
No — vision lost to glaucoma can't be restored, which is why early detection and keeping eye pressure controlled with drops, laser or surgery are important.
