The unit provides state-of-the-art tertiary eye care services in the fields of cornea, cataract, refractive surgery, ocular surface disorders and refractive surgery to patients from across the country. It combines advanced clinical care, surgical excellence, academics, and research with a strong emphasis on innovation and training.The unit offers comprehensive management of corneal and ocular surface disorders, including infectious keratitis, corneal dystrophies and degenerations, limbal stem cell deficiency, dry eye disease, and immune-mediated ocular surface disorders. Advanced surgical procedures routinely performed include penetrating keratoplasty, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK, DMEK), therapeutic keratoplasty, ocular surface reconstruction, limbal stem cell transplantation, and corneal collagen cross-linking. Customized cross-linking techniques, including contact lens-assisted and lenticule-assisted procedures, are also offered for progressive corneal ectatic disorders. The availability of advanced technologies such as specular microscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT), intraoperative OCT-integrated microscopes, femtosecond laser platforms, and automated microkeratomes has significantly enhanced the precision and safety of these corneal procedures.The cataract service caters to both routine and complex cataract cases, including pediatric cataract, traumatic cataract, post-keratoplasty cataract, and cataract associated with corneal or retinal pathology. The unit offers advanced phacoemulsification surgery as well as femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). The use of three-dimensional heads-up display systems such as the ARTEVO 800 has further enhanced surgical visualization, ergonomics, teaching, and training.Premium intraocular lenses including toric, multifocal, and extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses are routinely implanted to provide individualized visual rehabilitation and reduce postoperative spectacle dependence. Customized approaches are also used for patients with high astigmatism and corneal ectatic disorders.A dedicated paediatric cornea and cataract service provides specialized care for children with congenital and acquired corneal and lenticular disorders. Particular emphasis is placed on early surgical intervention, amblyopia management, visual rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up to optimize visual outcomes.Comprehensive management of refractive errors is performed using state-of-the-art excimer laser and femtosecond laser platforms. Procedures offered include LASIK, PRK, SMILE and phakic IOL implantation. Advanced customized ablation procedures such as topography-guided LASIK are also performed. Detailed preoperative assessment using advanced corneal imaging, dry eye evaluation, tomography, biomechanical evaluation and aberrometry forms an integral part of patient selection and surgical planning.The unit also runs a dedicated contact lens clinic that caters to optical and cosmetic rehabilitation in patients with irregular astigmatism, keratoconus, aphakia, corneal opacity, and post-keratoplasty visual rehabilitation.The unit is actively involved in clinical and translational research, innovation, and development of newer diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Faculty members and residents contribute extensively to academic activities, surgical skill training programmes, scientific publications, and national and international collaborative research initiatives.A comprehensive resident training programme comprising academic lectures, bedside teaching, wet lab and surgical skill training, and supervised stepwise surgical exposure forms an integral part of the unit’s academic activities. The unit remains committed to excellence in patient care, research, innovation, and training of future ophthalmologists.
