India’s first-of-its-kind dry eye clinic has opened in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital is offering free dry eye evaluation and doctor consultation for the residents of Bengaluru till August 15, 2022.
The new dry eye speciality clinic consists of the latest and most advanced diagnostic technology with treatment options including the ‘Intense Pulse Light Therapy’ which improves the quantity and quality of tears being produced by the eye. The therapy significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of dry eyes and specifically benefits those patients who do not find adequate relief with the use of eye drops alone.
Dr Sanjana Vatsa, Cornea and Refractive Surgeon, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, Indiranagar said, “We have witnessed that the majority of people in the age group of 20 – 40 years complain of dry eyes and they are either working professionals or students who undergo online classes. Excessive use of electronic devices is known to affect eyes, commonly in the form of dry eyes. With over 30 per cent increase in the recent months, we expect this to increase by a further 15 per cent in the coming years.”
Dr Archana S, Regional Head – Clinical Services, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, Bengaluru, pointed out, “People mustn’t ignore the symptoms of dry eyes. If one has a burning sensation in the eyes, foreign body sensation, itching, redness, blurring of vision, discomfort, etc., one should immediately visit an ophthalmologist. Such symptoms if left untreated, can lead to pain, scarring, and in some cases vision loss as well. It is recommended people visit and get evaluated.”
Dr Triveni V Regional Head – Clinical Services, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, Bengaluru said, “Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital in Indiranagar is a refractive hub for the hospital chain. The centre is equipped with advanced technology and the latest equipment to provide comprehensive eye care holistically. The hospital is housed on two floors, spread across approximately 5,000 sq ft. The centre will give the patients 360-degree comprehensive eye care under one roof, offering services such as general ophthalmology, cataract services, laser cataract surgery, retina and cornea services, glaucoma and orbit, refractive surgery, and pediatric ophthalmology.”
