OCULOPLASTY TREATMENT AT OUR HOSPITAL

The ophthalmologists at Dr. Dudhabhate Netralaya & Retina Centre are specially trained in the field of oculoplasty that essentially is a combination of ophthalmology and plastic surgery. There are various kinds of surgeries that are performed to take care of problems like NLD block, Ptosis, Entropion, and Ectropion, etc.

The oculoplasty treatment in Pune starts with an examination of the current condition of the patients and what symptoms and problems they are having which are creating a hindrance either in their vision or their appearance.

Once the examination is done, the patients are suggested with the appropriate options of oculoplasty, and they are free to choose any of them. With state-of-the-art facilities, latest machines and up-to-date technology available with the oculoplasty surgeons at Eye Super Specialty – Computer vision syndrome, the surgery becomes a cakewalk for the patients. In some cases, the patients need to contact a neurosurgeon for an examination, which is communicated during the initial analysis of the patient’s condition.

All our surgeons take extra care while working with kids and teens since there are some eye muscles which are underdeveloped or which are quite week during the initial stages of growth.

COST OF OCULOPLASTY IN PUNE?

While the cost of oculoplasty ideally depends on the condition that needs to be treated. The exact cost can be determined in the eye examination at Dr. Dudhabhate Netralaya & Retina Centre where our surgeons would recommend you a surgery based on your problem and your age. It should also be noted that the cost of these procedures is quite high for people with long history of eye problems as well as ones with age more than 60 years.

The patient for oculoplasty can be operated within one day and can be discharged the same day as well. The recovery for this procedure is also very quick.
