Every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It relaxes the focusing muscles and eases digital eye strain.
Even without symptoms, an eye exam every 1–2 years after age 40 helps catch glaucoma and cataracts early, when they're much easier to treat.
Diabetes can quietly damage the retina. An annual dilated retina check is essential to detect diabetic retinopathy before vision is affected.
Sudden vision loss, new flashes or floaters, severe eye pain, redness or injury need prompt attention. Don't wait: call the clinic.
Longer answers to the questions patients ask most, written by Dr. Patel.

"Got my LASIK done after a thorough consultation. Dr. Shirish answered every question patiently. No rush, no upselling. Six months later my vision is sharp. Highly recommended."
"I have been visiting for glaucoma check-ups for over a year. Doctor is very thorough with the eye pressure and field tests. Reports are explained in detail."

"Father is 78 and was scared of surgery. Dr. Shirish took time to reassure him. The surgery was painless and over in 20 minutes. We are very grateful."
"Came for a second opinion before another doctor's surgery. Dr. Shirish was honest and said surgery wasn't urgent. Saved me unnecessary cost. Trustworthy doctor."
Consult a specialist if you notice blurring, double vision, difficulty reading, eye pain, redness, or flashes of light. Routine check-ups are recommended even without symptoms, especially after 40, for diabetics, and for anyone with a family history of glaucoma. Early detection leads to better outcomes.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that gradually blurs vision, increases glare and dulls colours. It's most often age-related. Modern day-care surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring clear vision with a quick recovery.
LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures worldwide and is very safe when performed after thorough screening. Most patients notice improved vision within hours, with functional vision returning in 24–48 hours. Dr. Patel carries out detailed pre-operative assessment to confirm you're a suitable candidate before recommending it.
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve gradually and usually without early symptoms, so vision can be lost before it's noticed. Regular eye-pressure checks, OCT and visual field testing allow early detection and treatment to protect your sight.
A routine eye examination once a year is a good rule for most adults, and more frequently if you have diabetes, glaucoma, high spectacle numbers or existing eye conditions. Children should be screened before starting school and whenever a vision problem is suspected.
