Glaucoma damages the optic nerve long before you notice any symptoms, which is why it's called the "silent thief of sight." Dr. Shirish Patel is fellowship-trained in glaucoma and works through the full workup: intraocular pressure (IOP), OCT of the optic nerve, visual field testing and pachymetry. Treatment is then matched to how the disease is behaving in your eyes.
The cornea is the eye's clear front surface, and small problems here cause big vision issues. Care covers corneal infections, dystrophies, scars and dry-eye-related surface disease, along with early keratoconus detection using corneal topography, specialty contact-lens fitting (RGP, scleral, hybrid), and referral for corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) where indicated.
Retinal disease often develops without symptoms until vision is already affected. Screening for diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and retinal vein occlusion uses OCT, fundus photography and detailed retinal imaging. When treatment is needed, options include intravitreal anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy, done at Advance Eye Care Centre, Goregaon West.
Burning, watering, grittiness or fluctuating vision? Dry eye is common, and frequently missed. A proper workup finds the real cause: screen strain, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), autoimmune disease, or a medication side-effect. Treatment (lubricants, lid hygiene, MGD therapy, small lifestyle changes) is then built around what the workup actually shows.
Children rarely say their vision is blurry. They just start to struggle at school or hold books very close. Age-appropriate examinations pick up refractive errors, squint (strabismus), amblyopia (lazy eye) and congenital conditions early, done in a calm setting so children stay comfortable through the exam.
Day-care procedures for pterygium (eye flesh), excised with a conjunctival autograft to reduce the chance of it coming back. Plus chalazion incision, eyelid lump removal and foreign-body removal. Most patients go home the same day.

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.

"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."
"Suffered from dry eyes for years due to long screen hours. Dr. Patel diagnosed MGD and put me on the right treatment. Massive relief in just a few weeks."
"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.
