For most ailments of the eye, dilating the eye helps in the diagnosis and hence your eyes have to be dilated. Dilatation drops will be applied to both your eyes, at intervals of ten minutes. While eyes are being dilated, you may experience mild discomfort after the first drop. Dilatation may take between 15-30 minutes and you can be comfortably seated in our lobby.

After dilatation of the eyes, the pupil of the eye will stay slightly dilated for a couple of hours. So avoid driving vehicles after dilatation. It is always safe to have an attendant with you.

We will first evaluate your eyes. You will undergo a series of investigations and tests to see if surgery can be recommended to you.

The whole procedure usually takes 30 minutes. You will be monitored in our recovery room for a couple of hours and then you will be discharged right away. With proper post operative care, you can get back to normal life in a week’s time.
