Spiciality Contact Lens Clinic

Nandadeep Eye Hospital has exclusive Speciality Contact Lens Clinic. Dedicated service, experienced Contact lens Specialist, latest equipments & wide range of Speciality Contact Lenses with various designs are the major qualities in solving challenging cases successfully.

The cornea is the transparent portion that covers the front surface of the eye. The important function of the cornea is to bend light and is responsible for focussing most of the light that enters the eye.

Ocular surface disorders

Colour vision deficiency (red/green, etc)

Keratoconus

Keratoconus is an disease that affects usually bilaterally the cornea and results in progressive thinning of the cornea. This may bring about dimness of vision, diplopia, myopia, irregular astigmatism, and light sensitivity. In progressively serious cases a scarring or a circle might be seen inside the cornea. While the reason is obscure, it is accepted to happen because of a mix of hereditary, ecological, and hormonal components. Around seven percent of those influenced have a family ancestry of the condition. Proposed ecological elements like rubbing the eyes and ocular allergies. The basic component includes changes of the cornea to a cone shape which is evaluated by slit lamp biomicroscope.

Early detection and management can prevent extensive progression. Nandadeep Eye Hospital has exclusive Keratoconus Clinic comprising of modern instruments such as Pentacam, Specular Microscope, Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography, etc for detection of early Keratoconus to stop the progression with the help of early management.

Keratoconus affects around 1 out of 2000 individuals. It happens mostly in late childhood to early adulthood.

Keratoconus
Keratoglobus
Keratoglobus

Keratoglobus is a non-inflammatory ectatic disorder of the cornea characterized by thinning from limbus to limbus resulting in globular protrusion of the cornea.

Pellucid Marginal Corneal Degeneration
Pellucid Marginal Corneal Degeneration

Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) is a bilateral, non-inflammatory, peripheral corneal thinning disorder characterized by a peripheral band of thinning of the inferior cornea.

Corneal Opacity
Corneal Opacity

The cornea is the transparent structure on the front of the eyeball. Corneal opacity is when the cornea becomes scarred. This reduces the light passing through the cornea to the retina and may cause the cornea to appear white or clouded over.

High astigmatism
High astigmatism

Astigmatism is a condition where the corneal curvatures are unequal. It can occur due to congenital causes or post trauma or after corneal transplant

Corneal Ectasia
Corneal Ectasia

Corneal ectasia occurs when the inner layers of your cornea become weak, causing the cornea to change shape, protrude forward and distort your vision.

Pannus
Pannus

Corneal pannus means the growth of fine blood vessels onto the clear corneal surface.

Ocular surface disorders
Steven Johnson Syndrome

Treatment options for Patients with Corneal Disorder

Speciality Contact Lenses

Nandadeep Contact Lens Clinic is first of its kind in Southern Maharashtra comprising of almost all types of speciality contact lenses. This exclusive facility has been arrived as a boon for many needy patients where we have observed life changing stories.

Followings are the showcase of these extensive facilities:

Rigid gas permeable lens
Rigid gas permeable lenses

RGPs are among the most common and cost reasonable contact lenses for corneal and refractive treatment. These lenses are made of gas permeable materials, i.e. they permit oxygen to move through the lens. We have different domestic and imported RGP lenses with higher oxygen permeable features.

ROSE K Lens

Paul Rose additionally redefined the ROSE K lenses to consider the irregular corneal states of patients with various corneal disorders, which require unique designs to fit easily.

ROSE K Lens
Scleral Contact lens
Scleral Contact lenses

These lenses are most recommended and highly comfortable, steady for all categories of patients. This extraordinary lens rests on the sclera (white portion of the eye). Thus there will no touch with the cornea. These are large in size as compared to other lenses and are gas permeable enough for the edges to fit on sclera and cover a bigger segment of the sclera, while semi-scleral contacts covers a comparatively littler area. Because the focal point of scleral and semi-scleral lenses vaults over the irregular area of cornea, these lenses don't have any significant bearing strain to the cone shaped portion and are more steady than ordinary gas permeable lenses.

Corneo-scleral lenses and semi-scleral

Lenses are much larger than conventional GP lenses and rest near the junction between the cornea and the sclera.

Mini-scleral lenses vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the anterior sclera.

Full scleral lenses are the biggest scleral lenses and give the best measure of freedom between the back surface of the focal point and the cornea.

All scleral lenses are made with highly breathable, gas permeable lens materials. So however scleral lenses cover the whole cornea, a lot of oxygen arrives at the front surface of the eye to keep it healthy and comfortable.

Academics

Fellowship

The Anterior segment fellowship program is a 6 months program intended to give concentrated clinical involvement to diagnose corneal diseases through a detailed eye examination using hi-tech equipments and speciality contact lenses under expert supervision. The fellow/s will get enough opportunity to learn differential diagnosis followed by management. The fellow/s will be trained through different case studies and would be privileged with research education besides enhancement of clinical skills.
