Dr. Nankani also informed the media about the vision of Krishna eye centre of serving all classes of patients with the latest machines and live up to the motto of “ Seeing is believing”
The centre has catered to more than 1 Lac patients from India and abroad.
The centre is well known for advanced Cataract surgeries with premium Intra ocular lens which takes away the dependence on glasses.
KEC has now acquired the latest LASIK machine with Contoura technology, which can benefit the people of Mumbai with superior quality vision along with spectacle freedom.
Whereas traditional LASIK or refractive surgery only removes the spectacle numbers, Contoura vision also enhances the visual experience. Contoura maps out 22000 unique points of the Cornea (which is the front glass of the eyes) which are like the finger prints and forms a 3 D image. The laser selectively polishes these points and smoothens the Cornea and this gives a far better quality of vision to the patient compared to the traditional treatment. The machine can remove small and big powers in seconds and the whole process can be completed in 10 minutes. The recovery time is only 24-48 hours.
One Unique service that Krishna eye centre offers and is only of its kind is the comprehensive management of Computer vision syndrome (CVS).
As we know that more and more people are spending increasing time on digital media. From children to adults, it is an epidemic. India alone has 750 million internet users, more than 50 % of the nation’s population. It is well established that 70 % of people using digital media are prone to CVS with symptoms of headache, eye strain, fatigue, redness, watering etc.
A patient who comes to KEC is thoroughly evaluated for symptoms of CVS much unlike anywhere else where only eye drops are prescribed and traditional advice is given on ergonomics.
We at KEC classify these patients in 2 categories.
Those with external symptoms like redness and irritation are evaluated for dry eyes with the latest and the best machine called Lipiview and Lipiflow. The machine gives a thorough analysis of the different layers of the tear film, points out to the problem and also gives effective treatment in the form of heat and pressure to clean the glands of the lids which are clogged and this results in the secretion of good quality of tears.
Patients who have internal symptoms like headache and eye strain are evaluated for focusing issues like convergence and accommodation. A patented software program called Bynocs gives accurate diagnosis and gives treatment in the form of exercises. Easy to do and engaging games of Bynocs can be done by children and adults from the comfort of their home or office. It is a 10 day program which gives lasting relief.
The management of this widely prevalent problem has been uniquely designed at KEC and has been successful in treating thousands of patients.
