Eye Care Services Available for International Patients

We offer a full spectrum of eye care services, from routine eye exams to complex surgical procedures. Here is an overview of what we treat.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed eye procedures worldwide. At Dr. Solanki Eye Hospital, we offer advanced phacoemulsification surgery with a choice of premium intraocular lenses, including monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses. Our surgeons assess your eyes thoroughly and recommend the lens best suited to your vision needs and lifestyle.

LASIK and Refractive Surgery

If you are looking to reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses, we offer bladeless LASIK and implantable collamer lens (ICL) procedures. A detailed pre-operative evaluation determines your suitability, and our team guides you through every step.

Vitreo-Retina and Diabetic Eye Care

Retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment require timely, expert intervention. Our retina specialists use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to protect and restore your vision wherever possible.

Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. We provide comprehensive glaucoma screening, medical management, laser therapy, and surgical options tailored to the severity and type of your condition.

Cornea Services

From corneal infections and scarring to corneal transplant surgery, our cornea specialists handle a wide range of conditions. Timely treatment is essential, and we work to ensure international patients can access urgent cornea care without unnecessary delays.

Oculoplasty

Oculoplasty involves corrective and reconstructive surgery around the eye. This includes treatment for drooping eyelids (ptosis), eyelid malpositions, blocked tear ducts, orbital fractures, and eyelid tumours. We also perform cosmetic blepharoplasty. Treatment may involve medication, laser therapy, or surgery, depending on the condition.

Paediatric Ophthalmology and Squint Correction

Children travelling with families for eye care receive gentle, specialised treatment. We manage childhood eye conditions including squint (strabismus), lazy eye, and refractive errors using age-appropriate approaches and a reassuring environment.

Prosthetic Eye Services

Losing an eye to injury, disease, or surgery can be emotionally difficult. Our prosthetic eye services offer custom-made artificial eyes designed to match your natural eye in size, shape, and colour. A prosthetic eye helps maintain the socket shape, prevents tissue changes, and restores a natural, symmetrical appearance. Follow-up adjustments ensure a precise, personalised result.

Contact Lens, Optometry, and Second Opinions

Our optometry department provides comprehensive eye examinations, prescription updates, and contact lens fitting. If you have received a diagnosis elsewhere and want a fresh perspective, our specialists also offer thorough second opinion consultations.

Step 4: Consultation, Diagnosis, and Treatment

On arrival, you meet your consulting ophthalmologist for a thorough examination. Diagnostic tests are conducted on-site, and depending on the procedure, treatment may begin the same day or be scheduled within a few days.

Step 5: Recovery and Follow-Up

After treatment, our team provides clear recovery instructions and schedules follow-up visits as needed. For patients returning home before their follow-up period is complete, we offer teleconsultation support to stay connected with your treating doctor.
