Sudden vision loss
A dark curtain dropping over part of your vision — or sudden, painless loss in one eye — needs assessment within the hour. Retinal detachment and stroke-related occlusions are time-critical.

The surgical journey
Six steps from first call to long-term follow-up.
Every patient walks the same path — built for unhurried clarity, day-care recovery and lifelong rhythm.
Consultation
We listen, before we look.
Every visit begins with a conversation — your history, your concerns, your daily life. Only then do we examine. Most first consults run 30–45 unhurried minutes.
- Detailed history & symptom review
- Vision testing & IOP check
- Slit-lamp & dilated examination
Diagnostics
Evidence, in light.
If imaging is needed, it happens the same day in our in-house suite: OCT, biometry, topography, perimetry. You don't drive across town — and you don't wait for answers.
- Spectral-domain OCT mapping
- Optical biometry (Lenstar / IOL Master)
- Wide-field fundus imaging
Treatment plan
Your eye, in plain language.
Your doctor sketches what's happening and what we'd do about it. Risks, recovery, IOL options and cost — explained until you can repeat it back to a family member.
- Written plan & options compared
- Insurance & TPA pre-authorisation
- Pre-op investigations scheduled
Surgery day
Calm, day-care, precise.
Topical-anaesthesia cataract, LASIK and most retinal procedures are day cases. You arrive in the morning, rest in our recovery lounge and are home the same evening.
- Four modular operation theatres
- Premium IOLs & WaveLight EX500 laser
- Day-care recovery & meal
Recovery
The first 48 hours.
We call you the next morning. A written drop chart, a 24-hour helpline and a follow-up at day-1, week-1 and month-1 keep recovery genuinely uneventful.
- 24-hour clinical helpline
- Written eye-drop & care schedule
- Same-day cab partner for elderly patients
Long-term care
We don't disappear.
Glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and post-refractive eyes need lifelong rhythm. We share clear written reports with your GP and remind you when it's time.
- Annual review reminders
- Reports shared with your GP/endocrinologist
- Family-screening invitations
Understanding the technology
What the machines actually see for you.
Six imaging and laser systems that turn invisible structures into evidence — explained without the jargon.
01Imaging & laser
Spectral-Domain OCT
Cross-sections of the retina at micron resolution.
A painless, no-contact scan that reveals macular fluid, retinal nerve fibre thinning and surgical planes you simply cannot see on a torch examination.
Used for: diabetic retinopathy, AMD, glaucoma, post-op review.
Preparation guides
Calm comes from knowing what's next.
Five short, doctor-written guides cover the week before, the day of, and the first 48 hours after every common Insight procedure.
A printable copy of each guide arrives by email after your consultation — your reading homework, gentle and short.
- 1Continue your blood-pressure and diabetes medication unless told otherwise. Stop aspirin / blood-thinners only on written advice from our team.
- 2Use the antibiotic drops we prescribe for three days before surgery, exactly as scheduled.
- 3Arrive 60 minutes before surgery, with a light breakfast and a family member who can drive you home.
- 4Wear loose, button-down clothing — no jewellery, no eye make-up. Bring your reading and distance glasses.
- 5Plan a calm 24 hours afterwards: no head-down posture, no rubbing the eye, sunglasses outdoors.
- 1Stop soft contact lenses for 3 days, toric or rigid lenses for 7–14 days before your evaluation.
- 2Hydrate well and avoid eye make-up for 24 hours before the procedure.
- 3Bring sunglasses for after the procedure — you'll be light-sensitive for a few hours.
- 4Arrange a companion to drive you home; you can usually return to desk work in 24–48 hours.
- 5Plan your first follow-up for day-1 and week-1 — we like to confirm flap healing in person.
- 1Plan to spend 90–120 minutes at the clinic — most of it is observation and imaging.
- 2Arrange a cab or family driver. Avoid driving yourself home.
- 3Bring dark sunglasses — daylight will feel intense for 3–5 hours.
- 4Reading and screens will be blurry until the drops wear off — schedule accordingly.
- 5If you wear contact lenses, bring your glasses for after the exam.
- 1Wash and dry hands before every insertion and removal — water, soap, lint-free towel.
- 2Never sleep, swim or shower in your lenses unless they're specifically prescribed for it.
- 3Replace lens cases every three months. Never top up old solution — always discard and refill.
- 4If your eye is red, painful or light-sensitive, remove the lens immediately and call us.
- 5Schedule a contact-lens review every 12 months — corneas, like prescriptions, change.
- 1Tell your child the doctor will 'look at the lights in their eyes' — no needles, no pain.
- 2If glasses or patching are part of the plan, bring them — and a favourite toy for comfort.
- 3Expect dilating drops in younger children — this lets us measure refraction accurately.
- 4Allow 60–90 minutes for the first visit, less for follow-ups.
- 5Avoid scheduling the appointment during nap time — alert eyes give the most reliable readings.

Our patient promise
An ophthalmology clinic should feel like one
for the family, not just the patient.
Four operating principles, written down so we can be held to them. Every consultation, surgery and follow-up at Insight begins with these.
Educate, then treat.
Every plan begins with a sketch on paper. If you can explain your own eye to a family member, we've done our job.
Day-care first.
Modern eye surgery should not need a hospital stay. Four modular OTs, topical anaesthesia and a recovery lounge — home the same evening.
The whole family's eyes.
Glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and keratoconus run in families. We screen partners, parents and children at the same address.
Affordable, transparent, written.
Quotes in writing. No upselling. Cashless insurance handled by our front desk so you focus on healing, not paperwork.
When time matters
Six signals that should not wait.
If any of these happen, call our 24-hour helpline before doing anything else. Most are not emergencies — and the ones that are, respond beautifully to early action.
24-hour clinical line
+91 8237 113355
For life-threatening symptoms — chest pain, stroke signs, severe trauma — go directly to the nearest emergency room. Call us afterwards for ophthalmology follow-up.
02
Flashes & a shower of floaters
A new shower of floaters with light flashes can be the earliest sign of a retinal tear. Treated with a 15-minute laser the same day, it almost never becomes a detachment.
03
Severe eye pain with redness
Eye pain with nausea, blurred vision and a hazy cornea may be acute angle-closure glaucoma — a true emergency. Drops within hours can save the optic nerve.
04
Chemical splash or trauma
Irrigate the eye with clean water for 15 full minutes immediately, then come in. For blunt trauma, do not press the eye — shield it and travel directly to us or A&E.
05
Post-surgery red flags
After any eye surgery, call our helpline immediately for: a sudden drop in vision, increasing pain, growing redness, or discharge after the first 24 hours.
06
Sudden double vision or facial drooping
Could be neurological — myasthenia, third-nerve palsy or stroke. Please do not 'wait it out'. Go to the nearest A&E and call our office for follow-up.

Patient FAQs
Ten questions we hear most often.
Written by our consultants — not by marketing. If your question isn't here, our front desk is genuinely happy to talk.
Most patients notice a marked improvement within 24 hours. Final crispness — especially with multifocal IOLs — settles over 2–6 weeks as the brain adapts.
LASIK reshapes the cornea permanently. However, presbyopia (the need for reading glasses around age 45) is a separate, ageing-related change that LASIK does not prevent.
Absolutely — provided sugars are reasonably controlled and the retina is screened beforehand. Many of our patients are diabetic; we coordinate with your physician throughout.
OPD is outpatient — consultations, diagnostics and minor procedures. IPD is inpatient, for surgeries that require post-op monitoring. Most of our procedures are day-care.
Yes. We are empanelled with most major insurers and TPAs. Bring your card, photo ID and any pre-authorisation paperwork — our insurance desk handles the rest.
Typically not. The most common sensation is a brief sting from the antiseptic. Mild redness or a small bruise on the white of the eye for a day or two is normal.
At 6 months, again at age 3 and once more before starting school. Earlier if you notice eye drifting, persistent watering, head tilt or unusual light sensitivity.
Every two years if you have no symptoms. Annually after age 40, after age 60, or if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of glaucoma.
Most post-op drops are tapered over 4–6 weeks. Long-term drops (for glaucoma, dry eye) are designed for chronic use and reviewed every 3–6 months.
Our 24-hour clinical helpline is on every discharge sheet. Call us — that's exactly what it's for. There is no such thing as a small question after surgery.
