Conditions We Treat

The Department of Ophthalmology at Apex Group of Hospitals provides care for the eyes and surrounding tissues. Problems can range from blurred vision that makes driving stressful to a retinal problem that needs urgent care. As a trusted ophthalmologist in Borivali, Kandivali, and Mulund, Apex assesses each patient individually before recommending any treatment.

Conditions the department manages include:

• Cataract: Cloudy lens causing hazy vision and glare. Cataract surgery in Mumbai at Apex starts with choosing the lens that suits you best.
• Glaucoma: Raised eye pressure that slowly damages the optic nerve, often without symptoms. Regular screening helps catch it early, before vision is lost.
• Retinal conditions: Diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal tears and detachment. These can affect reading and central vision, and some need urgent care.
• Refractive errors: Short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism can cause blurred vision. They are corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or laser vision correction, depending on your eyes and needs.
• Corneal conditions: Infections, scars, keratoconus, and dry eye can cause pain, redness, and blurred vision. Treatment depends on the cause and severity.
• Children's eye problems: Squint, lazy eye, and early refractive errors can affect learning and school performance. Early checks help treat them while a child's eyes are still developing.
• Eyelid, tear duct, and orbit conditions: Drooping eyelids, watery eyes from blocked tear ducts, and growths around the eye. These are assessed for both comfort and appearance.
• Eye injuries and nerve-related vision problems: Trauma care for eye injuries and neuro-ophthalmic conditions affecting the optic nerve. prompt assessment is important, as early care can help protect vision.

During a consultation, the ophthalmologist reviews symptoms, checks vision, measures eye pressure, and examines the front and back of the eye. Treatment depends on what the assessment shows. Glasses, eye drops, laser treatment, or surgery are all considered based on the individual clinical picture. Not every eye problem requires an operation.
