Ophthalmology

Eye Hospital in Andheri East, Mumbai

Eyesight problems often share early symptoms, even when the causes differ. CritiCare Asia Hospitals in Andheri East is an eye hospital in Mumbai that treats eye conditions across all age groups, from a child who squints to an older adult with clouding vision. Care moves through assessment, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and the tests that go with a consultation are arranged so they can be done together wherever the case allows. Our ophthalmologists start with a detailed examination and add specialised testing only when needed. Planned properly, ophthalmology treatment protects and restores sight now and addresses what puts it at risk later.

Conditions We Treat

  • Cataract
    clouding of the natural lens that causes blurred, dim or glare-prone vision and, over time, makes daily tasks harder
  • Glaucoma
    damage to the optic nerve, often linked to raised pressure in the eye, that can narrow vision gradually and without early warning
  • Corneal disease
    scarring, thinning or clouding of the cornea, the clear front of the eye, which may need a corneal transplant (keratoplasty) when vision cannot be restored otherwise
  • Retinal conditions
    problems of the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye, including diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and retinal detachment
  • Age-related macular degeneration
    gradual damage to the macula, the part of the retina that gives sharp central vision
  • Children's eye problems
    refractive errors, lazy eye and retinopathy of prematurity in premature babies
  • Dry eye
    too few tears, or tears that evaporate too fast, leaving eyes burning, gritty and inflamed
  • Eye movement disorders and squint
    eyes that do not move together or steadily, or that turn in, out, up or down
  • Proptosis (bulging eyes)
    forward displacement of the eye, most often linked to thyroid eye disease

Treatments & Procedures

  • Cataract surgery
    removal of the clouded lens and replacement with an artificial lens
  • Keratoplasty (corneal transplant)
    replacement of a damaged cornea with healthy donor tissue
  • Glaucoma treatment
    pressure-lowering care chosen by the type and stage of the disease
  • Retinal laser
    used for diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears
  • Vitreoretinal surgery
    buckle procedures and complex vitrectomy for retinal detachment and advanced retinal disease
  • Anti-VEGF injections and photodynamic therapy
    for the wet form of macular degeneration and selected cases
  • Children's eye treatment
    spectacles, patching for lazy eye, and timely screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity
  • Dry eye management
    lubricating drops, lid hygiene, treatment of blocked oil glands and punctal plugs (tiny plugs that keep tears from draining away) when needed
  • Squint surgery and eye movement care
    prisms, medication or eye muscle surgery, depending on the cause
  • Orbital decompression
    surgery for proptosis when vision or comfort is at risk

Meet Our Specialists

The ophthalmology team evaluates each case through a focused history, a careful eye examination and, where relevant, retinal or corneal assessment, then recommends a treatment path. Findings are explained in plain terms, so patients understand what is happening and why an option is suggested. Decisions follow what each eye needs rather than a fixed protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sudden loss of vision, a curtain-like shadow, flashes of light with new floaters, severe eye pain with a red eye, or halos around lights with nausea. Do not wait for a routine slot.

Adults without symptoms are often advised a check every one to two years, and yearly after 40 or with diabetes or a family history of eye disease. Children should be tested if they squint or struggle at school.

Long screen time does not usually cause permanent damage, but it can cause dry, tired eyes and headaches. Regular breaks, frequent blinking, good lighting, and correct glasses help.

It depends on the lens chosen. A monofocal lens is sharp at one distance, usually far, so reading glasses are typically still needed. Other lens types may reduce dependence on glasses.

The eye is usually numbed with drops beforehand. Some people feel brief discomfort or light flashes. Your doctor will explain what to expect.

It is a condition of the developing retina in premature babies. Timely screening and treatment protect vision, which is why premature infants are checked early.

Common causes include allergy, infection such as conjunctivitis, dryness or irritation. Avoid rubbing or using steroid drops without advice, and seek assessment if there is pain, reduced vision, light sensitivity or discharge.

Yes. Sudden dimming, a curtain across the vision, many new floaters or flashes of light can signal retinal detachment or a blocked blood vessel. Urgent examination can protect sight.

No. Only the damaged part of the cornea is replaced, and in some cases only certain layers. The rest of the eye stays your own.
